Hi there,

Just filled up my tank in the van and am all set for the morning

Switched on my pump just now as I was going to give our windows a quick wash and the pump wont draw in water? Wot on earth could be wrong???

sounds like an air lock, try disconnecting hose just after the pump and then turn on the pump untill water comes out, my pump wont push air out if the hose real is attached

Chris, I'm one relieved chap & very embarrased

Was thinking I would have to fork out £100 on a new pump


Sorted!

Cheers

Fair play to you boys. That's the sort of thing that worries me to death with getting a wfp system. A simple problem but unless you have the knowledge to fix it you start flapping like a nutter. I'd have been on the phone to the suppliers.  :

Phew,

Got it working! It was the pipe going from the outlet of the pump to the hose reel.

I just took it off and blew through it and all is ok.

Oh yes! We're not just mop and squeegee chappies anymore you know!
We deal with hydro-electrics now, on a daily basis.


Not very funny when you don't know what's going on.

But most of the time, when you find the solution.................you realise why you are still just a window cleaner!!

Mathew , I WAS GOING TO SUGGEST THE CONNECTOR {ORANGE GARDENER I THINK} FROM THE TANK TO TROLLEY , I THINK THEY ARE TOTAL PANTS , HAD A FEW AND THEY HAVE ALL LEAKED !

Hi clearvision, maybe I missed it but I can't see any restraints for your tank.

Hi clearvision, maybe I missed it but I can't see any restraints for your tank.

Don't wory there are rachet straps to hold it in! I just took them off as I was jigling the tank about!

[Clear Vision]

Any way, next problem!

I just filled up the tank in the van straight from my di vessel and the tds is 001ppm 

My resin must be running low. As a rule I never work with a tds of over 000ppm.

When I go out tomorrow can I take my di vessel with me and fit it somewhere along the line (before the pole) so it takes it down from 001 to 000?

Where do I fit it? After my outlet on the pump and before my hose reel?

Hope someone can shed some light on this.

Cheers

Matt , just use the water at 001 , it wont cause you any prob whatsoever , some on here use it up to about 010 , honestly , you will be alright .
