Need help with 870 chem injection.

Holy crap! That was it. I flipped that ORing around and it came to life. I think it will get me through this job. But I’ll stop at ace hardware on the way home and replace that ORing. Thanks a million guys!

Sweet.....thats like the check valves being stuck open..its allowing it to blow by and not building pressure..

change the diaphragm while your in there, 500 hours is usually all they last
Yeah, I have been getting blow by when the switch was turned to the off position. The shuttle would just slightly vibrate. That would explain why.
1400 hours so far. Is this something I can get at ace hardware?
If it is an air leak, it's most likely not a hose. It's probably a brass piece like an elbow or hose barb(like behind dwyer meter). Over time water and/or chems eat away at the brass right by the threads(thinnest area).
Prime hose back to the dwyer meter, hose going into meter(bottom) is the one that fails. Check it!
I've unfortunately replaced just about every piece possible at lest twice. I used a certain rinse a while back and would eat the brass in 3-5 months!
I guess I got lucky being able to pull out one last job with that ORing. When I took it out to replace it, it fell apart into 5 pieces. It served me well.

Is that the same POS you'll be bringing to Vegas?
Do you still have the Chemtex?

Can you please wear latex gloves while in my room.
When you fall asleep I’m going to run my nailess fingers on your lips and whisper in your ear how much I love my Moonbeam hose reel.

@Jim Martin, after looking at the diagram you posted, I am missing one Oring completely. The low pressure side is totally dissolved. Glad I bought a few extras. This was my first time getting into one of these pumps. I appreciate the help.

Damn guys. I decided to check my diaphragm tonsee how it looks. It looked a little roaches and about to go out. I got 1400 hours out of this thing so I can’t complain. Glad I ordered a new one last night. It’s still working but looks like it could give up any minute.

after seeing the O-ring...I am not too surprised.....
I put it back together and now its not working again! Ugh! I think I also crushed a check valve plastic housing when putting it back together. I think they are okay because they passed the suck test. Going to see if I can get new parts today.
