Shurflo 100psi Pump

[Clearview Dorset]

Hello. 
 

I hope you can help. I have a shurflo pump 100psi and streamline digital display controller.

while working yesterday I got an airlock (which is very rare) which I dealt with by unconnecting the brass fitting to my reel and it worked. 

later the water stopped again. The digital display said PS or P5? There was no pulsing noise from the pump at all. I tried disconnecting all the connectors but nothing! 
 

Could this be a mega airlock or a replacement pump? 
 

if it is a mega airlock, any recommendations to how to deal with? I have a half a tank of water. 
 

also, I’ve seen feeds that suggest bleeding the pump?? How do you do that? 
 

Thanks for your help.

Try disconnecting the pressure switch and see if it works.

What happens if you put it on 99 and try it?

It could be a number of things and it's process of illumination. Spent an hour on a Facelift system and it was down to a valve open which the customer did not know what it was for. 

Are there air bubbles in the filter?

Hi Dave,

thanks for your reply.

okay will try disconnecting the pressure switch. Can I check, how to I test if it’s working ? 
 

if I put it to 99, it does nothing but flash PS.

Hello,

in the filter? Do you mean for the pump?

Yes the filter connected to your pump

Shamefully I probably don’t know how the pump actually works apart from push water....

where would I find the filter? Some say to bleed it? Is that the same thing?

You should have an inline filter between your tank and pump!
