how long?

does it generally take to clear an airlock out of a shurflo 100 psi pump?

Im not 100% sure it is an airlock but I am hoping it is that and not something more expensive!

Iv disconnected the hose going to reel and its being running for 5 mins now and still no water.

Just fitted an analogue flow controller and worked fine for a couple of days but overnight it has stopped working,although on my last job yesterday I did run the tank completely dry to finish the job

Get a piece of open ended hose connected to the outlet and suck like hell with the pump on full blast. Just be careful not to get a face full

I turned my transfer pump on and forced the water through the pump (with the pump on)for about 30seconds then quickly attached my hose coming from the van tank and it kept pumping fine :) no air locks or anything
