Lack of flow due to dodgy vessel
« on: March 29, 2019, 08:59:04 pm »
Has anyone had this at all,I’m getting poor flow intermittently even when the pump is flat out I’ve been told this could be due to the resin vessel.
Thanks

Back in the day I seem to remember flow issues when di vessels were on the van usually at the start of the day where it seemed to take a while to pressurise - but it’s been a few years since I’ve needed di on the van

It's usually the strainer that's blocked. Check the one before your pump and also any within the vessel i.e. on the riser tube/internal head assembly. If I ever get poor flow issues it's always the pump strainer.

I don’t use a strainer I haven’t yet checked the vessel head properly but after the pump I do have a couple of L shaped bends that Grippatank fitted to get round the exhaust box on my heater,I did wonder whether it could be that.
