Rattling noise

[peter rogers]

make sure all hoses are in tight and any lose hose is held down i use them clips electricans use to hold tubein down

also is the water exit from tank higher or lower than pump

pump is higher than the tap from tank. probably by about 18 inches at a guess.

i have my pump lower than the outlet wen i started i had it higher thn outket didnt run so well

wen i have it lower than out let it run class i have it set at 050 and its flying

I don't think I can get the pump lower than the outlet . How did you manage to do that? I would have to raise the tank up on something.

I use a purefreedom trolley static in the van where the inlet hose to the pump has been extended to about 2-3m long and I don't use any of the outlets of the two tanks either. All I do is drop the pump inlet hose with the pf filter on it into the lid of the tank that I want to draw water from which has work well like that for yonks.

One day I might get around to plumbing it in propely if I can be arsed once I stop using a 250 upright and a 450 flat tank stood up that is. I did say I was **** at DIY

I had a metal frame built tank raised on it very solids then frame bolted to van

Well yesterday I changed my resin and since then the pressure of my system seems much better today. Not sure what the reason is because I had previously taken the top off the bottle before to check for any blockages and it had made no difference. What I did notice is the cone shaped piece that fits on the bottom of the tube inside the bottle was bent over. I couldn't straighten it but didn't think it would really matter.

 

[Aqua]

Yeah pressure is definitely better now since changing resin and stays consistently the same. I also noticed today the rattling noise coming from the resin bottle had completely gone. I was wondering if air was somehow trapped inside the bottle? Whatever its much better now.

Sorry to hijack, but how do I check my pump strainer?
