davidwort 0 Posted November 15, 2009 nope, you just need to do that to get the bubbles out. sounds like you've got the dreaded sticking valve in the pump body, it's worth just taking out , visually checking the tiny gauze filter and popping back in, I've had them stick like that then just start behaving themselves again and never causing a problem again. Worth checking the drilling in the pump body the valve sits in is smooth and not scored in any way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
