mas985 replied to the thread low pressure and lots of air.The teflon tape can crack the union threads so you should avoid using that. If the o-rings don't seal on their own, they should be replaced. -
mas985 replied to the thread low pressure and lots of air.Doesn't the union have o-rings? It shouldn't need teflon tape.

thanks all everything seems to be better now. I did undo the union on suction side of pump and cleaned it and put teflon tape on threads...

mas985 replied to the thread low pressure and lots of air.The gauge could be bad and that is why you are reading lower than normal pressure. Let's focus on the air leak. I think I posted this...

mas985 replied to the thread Intelliflo power consumption.Reduce RPM and power will go done. Why do you need such a high RPM? Heater, SWG? 1000 RPM is usually going to be the most efficient...

mas985 replied to the thread low pressure and lots of air.Is there a switch on the back of the pump? Take a picture of the pump motor label.

mas985 replied to the thread low pressure and lots of air.7 PSI is very low even for a 3/4 HP pump. Can you post some pictures of the equipment pad? Is that a 2 speed pump running on low speed?

mas985 replied to the thread low pressure and lots of air.That would indicate a suction side clog and/or impeller clog. Things to try: Remove pump basket and see if there is any debris in the...
-
mas985 replied to the thread low pressure and lots of air.Ok but if the filter pressure is less than normal, then it still indicates either a clogged suction line and/or impeller. Or buy low...

mas985 replied to the thread low pressure and lots of air.Where you vacuuming previous to this happening? Definitely an air leak but it might be due to a clog in either the suction line and/or...
