hi, can anyone please help, my gardiners backpack stopped working properly today,i can hear the pump working but its only barely pushing the water out. its merely trickling out the {orange} hose atattched.

ive cleaned the internal filter but to no avail. plus i need it for work tomorrow

 
The problem might be with the hose connector, make sure there is no kinksin any hose, hose in pole?. Check tap if using one, that's me out of ideas, all the best

thanks for your input windowsurfer, i disconnected the pole from the backpack ( just to eliminate it out of the equation) i also checked the orange hose on the backpack , no kinks etc.

cheers though mate

 
Is your pole connector inserting correctly into backpack connector? I'm sure I had a problem can't remember what it was exactly, but think it was a kink. Have you turned up speed control.

Try unscrewing the connector actually on back pack n switch on, see if that works, maybe the water will just flow out though, just an idea.

If your using a reel, there might be a kink on that.

Have you charged the battery?

What happens when to operate the switch on the full; the side with 2 stripes/lines?

 
Hi Spruce, yes the battery is fully charged,when I put it on full power ( via the 2 striped button) it's just the same, as in barely pumping the water it's just a trickle really

 
Why don't you try contacting Gardiner poles systems customer support to ask, if they can help you... I have a very good experience with them !

 
I have been struggling with pump problems for years, when I once realize I have swaped the cables. In this case it happens so that pump still works, but on very slow cycles.

 
I've tried all afternoon phoning GARDINERS office, keeps going to answerphone, I'll keep trying though thanks Veselin.

I'm beginning to think the pump may have a blockage cos I've eliminated almost everything else

Try tagging @Alex Gardiner on here, he will probably see this post then and answer your question. The lid on mine won't tighten up and water spills out :confused:

 
Hi ppads52 - always worth leaving a message on our phone lines when we are busy as they are checked regularly and clients called back ::):

What is the voltmeter showing when you are running the pump?

How old is the backpack?

What have you used the backpack for - pure water or chemicals?

 
Thanks for replying Alex Gardiner, the office did ring me back and the lassy on the phone was lovely too, she certainly knew her stuff, I've ordered another pump cos I think it's buggered.

The voltmeter seems to be reading ok, it's in the (green) segment, if that makes sense. I've only used pure water in it and it's just over a year old, probs use it for 12 hours in the week
