Can't Get Air Out Of Pump

[chip]

Tried full bore, tried sucking it. Has it shot it?

 

[rcproperty]

when sucking it did you do it through the hose or right on the outlet of the pump??

Outlet, well about 8 inch of hose

if it is on full power and and not clearing it, then i i would take it apart and check it isnt blocked

and was that with it running full bore too?

how about full bore then put thumb over hose outlet and can you feel any pressure?

Have took top off couldn't find anything, where would obstructions be? I daren't delve too deep into it!

No, I turned it off before I sucked! There is water but only about 1 litre a min, pump could be shot but there's definately some air in there.

try sucking it when pump is going

mate had a problem like this and as soon as i sucked it while it running it soon cleared and worked again! just be ready to turn it off if it starts pumping water!

I'm just off to walk dog. Will try when I get back. This better not be a wind up to get me soaked!!

 

[rcproperty]

Got it up to 1.5 litre, slight improvement! Think it's had it. 4 years old at the end of the day! Don't suppose you're selling shurflo 100 psi pumps at 20 quid yet rich?
