Re: Problem with Hydra II Pump

Batista

Thanks for the technical input John

I think the drive belt from the blower and engine looks OK

The only solenoid I know about is the chem/high tem solenoid located on the inlet of the mixer tank witch is not present

I have coupled up a garden hose to the inlet of the pump.

Turned the tap on force feed the water and found 2 leaks one on the out let quick connector of the machine which was faulty and I have now replaced and the other there was a crack on a ¼ to 1/8 reducing nut on the pressure gage; I have relocated the gage for the time being and with the garden hose system it still shows no pressure on the gage with or with out the machine running

Now if I disconnect the 2 out let hoses on the pump rig up the garden hose to the inlet, with the tap on you will see water coming out of the outlet hoses with the machine in the off position.

Now I run the machine and there is still water coming out of the outlets however if I rev the machine up the pressure dose not increase  

Now when I turn the machine off with the tap running note there is still water coming out of the outlets on the pump; then I turn the tap off disconnect the garden hose and connect the hose from the mixer tank to the inlet take it off to remove any air blockage there is a steady flow of water coming through the hose; reconnect it back up start the machine and there is no water coming out of the out let port on the pump

The original pluming had a 3/8 to 5/8 reducing nipple connected to a ¾ tail fitting going into the inlet port and therefore a ¾” hose going into the inlet from the mixer tank

The system now has 5/8 tail going into the inlet port and therefore a 5/8” hose going into the inlet from the mixer tank

Is it possible a 5/8” hose and not a ¾” hose is casing the problem or is it something a lot more dramatic
