Pump Problem
« on: October 31, 2012, 09:32:28 am »
Running a wfp van with 2 seperate flow controllers and seperate Shurflo pumps.
First pump is fine - but the second is nothing more than a trickle ....
What could be wrong ?

Are you running with a single battery?

Have you changed any hose or fittings on the 2nd line?
Is the controller showing any messages?
What flow and calibration settings are on the control?
How old are the pumps?

A common cause for low flow can be a restriction in the system EG dirt/grit in the jets or air in the system.

It may also be worth re calibrating the controller.

Running both from a single battery - which is linked to a split charger

Ok That eliminates the battery as cause, You will need to check the Items Paul and I mentioned. Also check the cables between the battery and 2nd pump + Control. Check for any poor connections or worn cable. Replace any worn or corroded connectors.

As a rule cable should be a short as possible to avoid volt drop.
