does your inlet hose have a one-way non return valve connected to the end of it, if not then this may be the reason why pump is struggling. they are normally used to stop water flowing back into the drum or bucket of water. Otherwise if already has one, remove piping on the outlet of your pump then run pump(be careful of water pressure could be an idea to connect seperate hose to the outlet). if water flows out, then blockage is somewhere after the pump. if no water then pump could be faulty. good luck

San Marino Pump Air Lock
I think I might have let the water reservoir run a bit too empty (machine is not plumbed in).
So now with the reservoir (20l Drum) full the pump tries to suck but to no avail.
I have tried to prime, vent, drain etc any and all obvious places but still no water is pumped.
I suspect an airlock is there somewhere, if so how do I clear it, if not an airlock what should I look for?
Any advice is much appreciated.Tags: None
