Booster pump problems
« on: December 15, 2022, 04:41:26 pm »
I came home today to no water having been filtered in my static tank

The booster pump had knocked off so iv hit the reset button a few times and it just keeps knocking off after a minute or two

Its done this before but usually when i hit the reset it just works as normal again

Anybody had this before iv only been using this pump about a year

Might need priming. Take the hose that the water comes out of it that connects to your filters (if you've got it set up that way). Be careful as a load of water will fly out and soak you. Blow up the hose and reconnect and turn on.

Dosnt seem to be ice all hoses and filters seem fine
Il try the pruning as you say see if that works

As I say it’s done it during the summer aswel but hit the reset once and it runs as normal all night again

Just wondering if I can’t get it sorted I have one of the control panels for the booster pump auto shut off etc
If I turn the booster pump off and just connect the hose to the system as normal bypassing the booster will the panel still control the auto shut off etc

Water should still run through the booster with it turned off. Mine does. I've turned my booster pump off to save on electricity (yes saving more money NWH). Takes a lot longer to make pure but I have an auto shut off. I also gauge how long it will take to fill the IBC with a timer. I'm usually quite accurate with the timer. I did find I'd need to prime my booster if the auto shut off had to kick in. I've also just bought a new solenoid for the auto shut off as the old one started to play up. Could your solenoid be on the blink and be your problem?

its a new solenoid about six months ago so i dont think so
 when the booster isnt running i can still hear the water going into the tank but it just seems very slow im just worried it wont be filled by the morning

this has been a testing week for sure lol
these things are sent to test us and of course it all happens when ur just hoping to get a couple of good weeks work done to finish off for the holidays

thanks for the advice fingers crossed its filled in the morning then at least i have the weekend to have a better tinker

Hope you get it sorted but for your information, my booster produces about 300 litres an hour. With it turned off I produce about 100/150 litres an hour.
