If water isn’t flowing out of one of the hoses when your chiller is on and the temperature is set, there are a few steps you can take to resolve the issue. Follow this troubleshooting guide to identify and fix the problem.
Possible Causes and Fixes
1. Ensure the Pump is Fully Submerged and Powered On
- Verify that the pump is fully submerged in water. A partially submerged pump may not function properly.
- Check that the pump is securely plugged into a power supply and switched on.
2. Check the Chiller Port Stoppers
- Confirm that the port stoppers have been removed from the chiller ports.
- If the stoppers are still in place, remove them and ensure the hoses are properly secured onto the ports.
3. Inspect the Hoses for Twists or Folds
- Examine the hoses to ensure they are not twisted or folded in a way that restricts water flow.
- Straighten any kinks or bends to allow for smooth water movement.
4. Clean the Weighted Water Filter
- Remove the weighted water filter from the hose and inspect it for clogs.
- Wash the filter thoroughly under running water to remove any debris or build-up that might be blocking the flow.
Additional Tips
- Regularly check and clean your hoses and filter to prevent blockages.
- Ensure all connections are secure and tight to avoid leaks or disruptions in water flow.
