No. It is there for a purpose.
I would suggest you get rid of the air leaks, get rid of the bleach tank with the bung hole at the bottom.

I know we will be replacing that bulk head once a year!
If you throw it away now and put the proper tank in you wonāt have to replace it every year or have a leak going down the road or in a customerās driveway

Plumbing is the easy part. Just apply sunblock daily to all pvc parts. Jk.

Either that, or hire a plastic fabricator to weld the hole shut.

Out in the job now, did all recommended things, rerouted returns, switched to flex hose and still surgingā¦ rex said he thinks its pulling air from the other side but i see no air bubbles in my feed hose
All those connections look like a plumbing advertisementā¦
You should have two connections.
One from the buffer tank, and one to the pump.
The more connections, the more potential issues.

I had a rubber fernco for awhile on an old tank with stripped threads on the buttress, never caused a problem. Was a 5.5 gpm unit.
Take a step back and loook at other variables other then plumbingā¦is the unloader set properly? Belts loose?
Well guys i got fed up and stopped by a local pw repair shop who is a friend of mine and this is what he findsā¦ says the valve wasnt seated correctly and the person who assembled it at pressure pro tightened the cap anyway. Im in the process of trying to get a full valve kit from them since we had to put a used valve in it

Iām almost certain those guys just assemble the main components to a frame and install their own pulleyās and drive belts . Why in the world would they be installing valves in a pump? They didnāt press the seals in it. Thatās like saying they build the engine from a box of loose parts
