Now it's problems with water !!!

[GRR]

After filling up the water tank from empty, the water pump pushes out a decent stream for about 5 seconds before it reduces to a trickle.

leave it for about 15 seconds and the pump goes silent and the same thing happens again.

could it be an air lock - if so how do i clear it ?

Doubt an airlock, what about blockage/restriction on water tank breather?

Do you have an accummulator fitted? Could this be leaking?

Hi - No i don't think there is an accumulator

blocked filter?

 

[No Regrets]

I had this once after emptying the system for winter. Strangely it sorted itself out, after I wasted loads of time looking and tinkering, and it's been fine ever since.

May be a faulty pump!? Play with the pressure adjustment perhaps?
