Pump fine, no water output - help!

Bob Govan · Feb 23, 2021

Some advice greatly appreciated for relatively newbie please - I just changed water output aquastop that was leaking at van port to the point that tank was virtually empty overnight. I flushed the RO, let tank fill to 60% and set off to earn. HOWEVER no flow whatsoever despite pump working normally- any thoughts/ideas most welcome please.

Thanks Bob

Airlock in the system.

If you only changed the aqua stop start there. Check the aquastop by pushing something in to see if water flows out.

It sounds like air in the system, especially if you ran the tank nearly dry. Do what as @ched999uksays.
I once had a problem similar I cleaned out my tank, to get all the floating bits out of the bottom of my tank. My tank was spotless. Filled up the Monday off to work same issue everything working but no water. It turned out an air lock.

@ched999ukmy of sussed this.

It happened to my R.O. Fitted a non return female hozlelock connector, and it failed.

Broke off the little stopper inside with a screwdriver and the water gushed through lovely

I take it you have an Aquatec pump as that does not happen with Shurflo pumps
