How can I check the pressure on my Cat pump?

How can I check the pressure on my Cat pump?

Check the line size to the pump inlet. It is preferable to use reinforced flexible hose at the pump inlet and eliminate excessive elbows. An under sized line or collapsing line will starve the pump of liquid. It will give a low pressure or fluctuating pressure reading on the gauge and result in damage to the pump.

Can a clogged filter cause a cat pump to stop working?

A clogged or improperly sized filter reduces the amount of liquid to the pump inlet, which can cause cavitation and even severe pump damage. Reduced inlet flow results in reduced flow to the system, which works to reduce system pressure as there is less resistance to the lower flow being produced. Inspect filter and filter screen or mesh.

Why is my cat pump making a loud sucking noise?

Loud knocking noises are most commonly an indication of poor inlet conditions resulting in cavitation. This can be caused by a restriction of the fluid flowing in to the pump, or an air leak on the inlet lines of the pump system. Loud sucking noises typically indicate the pump is under stressful inlet supply.

What should I do if my cat pump is screeching?

If a booster pump is required to supply adequate inlet pressure, install a C.A.T. to stabilize the inlet pressure. Screeching noises are typically an indication that belts are slipping. If this occurs at start up, the belts require adjustment. Review the center distance and belt length and adjust the belt tension.

Can a collapsing line cause a cat pump to fail?

An under sized line or collapsing line will starve the pump of liquid. It will give a low pressure or fluctuating pressure reading on the gauge and result in damage to the pump. To stabilize inlet pressure under these conditions, install a Captive Acceleration Tube or C.A.T. (Inlet Pressure Stabilizer).

How does flow tech water treatment system work?

A validated and effective total water treatment system, Flow-Tech Home eliminates the need for expensive and harmful salts and chemicals. Once installed, your Flow-Tech will begin dissolving any existing scale within the system. The minerals form seed crystals that remain in suspension and are harmlessly washed away with the wastewater.

Can a flow Tech home dissolve a scale?

Yes! Flow-Tech Home will dissolve existing encrusted scale that is present in your pipes.
