Hi there I did thanks
I had the hose connected to a fat pipe running into my external tank coz I didn’t want to risk rusting the hose The water level in the fat pipe dropped to the tank meniscus level each time the pump stopped. When the pump started, it would entrain that air first, then the water. That air sucking caused the initial dip in pressure. So I chucked the fat pipe, threw the hose directly into the tank, bled out all the air I had sucked into the machine and voila Thanks for the message Regards Ameen Ally Cape Town On Thu, 04 Oct 2018 at 14:49, <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On Thursday, July 5, 2018 at 2:16:03 PM UTC+2, [email protected] wrote: >> >> Dear Friends >> >> Kindly advise me on a few issues I have been having with my 3 week old >> Brewtus IV-R running off a tank: >> >> 1.
