cleaning vinegar actually worked well. I did a bucket test and the water coming out of my pw seemed rusty or somehow dirty, but my source line was clean. Idk, Im eyeing buildind up a replacement fund to build a belt drive as those seem hard to mess up and they will pull water in, which I didn’t understand before (and couldn’t afford) I have a large job coming up, so if it can make it through that then I should be able to replace it no problem.
@anon37135677 I did a bucket test of both my supply line and my gpm out of my pw, and supply is getting 7.5 gpm and my pw is putting out 4.2 for a rated 5.5, so Im guessing its as you said that since it can’t pull the water in its having issues with low psi not being able to push the water into the pump. Or, my pump is fried, though it still seems to be getting pressure. (And metal in the oil) as stated above, a belt drive likely isn’t far away.
@Steve I checked my filter and it had a bit of stuff, but very minimal. Not enough to make a noticeable difference in gpm I would think.
