Tips on how to clean intelliPH acid injection fitting ?

Jump to latest Follow Reply
  • Intake 1/4 tube from reservoir to intake side of pump (no splits but cut a new end on the reservoir side and tightened up
  • Air vent 1/4 tube from reservoir (had a slight split at the base, cut a new end on the 1/4 tube and tightened up
  • Rollers spin freely, added some silicone lubricant to rollers and based to ensure smooth
Will monitor for next couple days and see if that improves anything...

Will also check intelliph lid o-ring and add silicone lube to it if required & check again to make sure inside tube in reservoir doesn't have some minor restriction that may be the last place to check..

So far no obvious issues.
- 1/4 feeder tube blown out and clear
-1/4 vent tube blown out and clear
- pump tube on rollers replaced
- new stenner injector
- 1/4 tube inside reservoir blown out and clear

Things are not adding up yet
 
As you mentioned, things aren't adding up so I'm a bit at a loss. Is the inlet screen/filter in the tank clear? Is that inlet hose in the tank in good shape?

Will be inspecting more over the weekend but still curious what others are seeing based on my videos in pump performance with and without injector

Clearly something is happening when the injector fittings are installed.

You have the ferrules in the correct orientation when you tighten down the nuts on the injector fittings?

You are not over inserting the tubing into the injector fittings when you insert it? I don't know if that is a thing but just throwing out thoughts.

How about over tightening the nuts and over crimping the tubing with the ferrule? All of my fittings are hand tight.

I can't say anything about the pump tube action when you are pumping because mine is zip tied to my pipes and does not flex all that much.

Did you ever order/install that flow meter?

What is the best way to get inside the reservoir? Can you get to inside without unscrewing all side screws to separate top section from bottom. Inspecting the inside intake tube and red filter end pt is maybe the only thing I physically haven’t removed and inspected. I blew air through it on low with air compressor but didn’t take apart the reservoir. The last time it worked was right before I let the reservoir go fully dry which might be a hint at the end of last season.
 
No clue, never taken it apart. I think I'd probably try and get something to hook the filter and see if I couldn't get it pulled up through one of the openings, before trying to disassemble the tank.

Seeing that it is pumping without the injectors, I think the filter is probably fine, was just something I thought about and wanted to mention. I'd be looking at what is going on when the injector gets installed. How tight are you screwing down the fittings?

Will continue to evaluate and inspect....all fittings and hand tightened for the 1/4 tubing and bushing snug... I will reinspect the 1/4 tubing inserted into the injector to ensure there is decent clearance inside in case it is stopping something from working internally correctly.

Also curious what others pump performance looks like with no injector... is the pumping in my video similar to others.
