pump needing to run higher.
« on: June 10, 2012, 04:25:38 pm »
i used to run in at 39psi the last month or so im running it at 55 or even 60 sometimes....,its about a year old now got it from gardiners.

its not an air lock maybe calibration? but i did set it at 30 CAL for ages it didnt seem to fix it for ,

could it be that the battery or pump on the way out?
batt is about 2 years old now but my last one was 6 years old.

I would check the battery is holding charge because that is what it sounds like is the problem

I've had this many times and normally find the pump is in its way out. Soon as u replace the pump there is good pressure at a low number
