Stenner output connector moves around

[gary300]

Hi all. Just set up my new Stenner pump (fixed,100 psi, 10 GPD) and noticed that when it is running, the output connector moves around somewhat, whereas the input connector stays in one place. Is this normal?

You might try centering the pump head tubing to help with this:

Thanks for the link to the video. I notice that the output connector is moving in the video, similar to mine. Mabe this normal, and I am jumping the gun.

It's normal. It's due to the peristaltic action of the pump. The tube stretches a little every time the roller squeezes it and it relaxes as it passes the outlet section. Since the pump tube connectors aren't fastened hard to the housing they can move around and it's not a problem.

OK, thanks. I won't worry about it then. Today will be my first day to run the pump. Set for 3 sessions of 20 min each via my Easy Touch.

Mine does the same thing, and has since day 1. It's perfectly normal.
