Brand new pump yesterday. Still no water. Fred was wrong again.
No Fred isn't wrong. He gave you likely problems based on info you have given. The same likely problems Jim Martin has mentioned based on the same info.
Lets go back to the beginning here:
You blew a hose going from the pump to the heat exchanger.
You replaced that hose and the machine would no longer pump water.
You had the pump rebuilt and it still wouldn't pump water.
You took it to a distributor who suggested you have the pump looked at again.
You had the pump looked at by the guy who rebuilt it and he found nothing wrong.
You tested the pump feeding it directly and it worked fine.
On April 30th you say the problem was trash in the pump head and it is fixed..
Turns out it wasn't because om May 19th you say
"OK I'm 3 weeks in with no water still. I need a suggestion from someone on where I can take this to fix it"
So what is the problem with the machine at this point?
You have no water
I offer to come look at it and let you pay what you think is fair
if I can find and fix the problem.
I arrived.and familiarized myself with the machine by going over the manual combined with a visual inspection. I removed the pump outlet hose, checked the inline filter, and went through the procedure of priming it from the waterbox. After a few minutes I had water pressure. I turned the unit off/on in different configurations to try and replicate the issue. I even opened up the supply side again to recheck the filter which would have caused it to lose prime. Looked it over for other issues/leaks and tightened the loose throttle. I showed Stacey exactly what I did so that she could show you. Then I made a little vid of the unit working to send to you:
Before I left I talked to you on the phone and said if you had any issues to contact me and I would return. Three weeks of issues later instead of contacting me you start posting in this thread again after the pump wouldn't pump water at all.
Tell me again how the **** I didn't fix the issue as it was known? How many ******* days should I have stayed to see if it eventually lost prime?
Now behind the scenes you're talking about what a
dick I am because I said the possibility exist sthat you may have burned the pump up continuing to prime it over and over again? That I drove 4 hours each way just to make you look like an idiot....REALLY?
