Brand new 370 chemical meter problem??

[Braden bell]

Our two month old sapphire 370 is using rinse but the meter stays pretty much at the bottom shaking around but not going up no matter how high I turn it
If I hook up a open line it will adjust as high as I want. Then switch to a 6 flow wand and it won't
Any help would be appreciated before we have to drive 1.5 hrs to the dealer

tighten the clamps on all your inlet hoses to the chemical pump.

I'll give that a try. Thanks

What rinses have you used?

 

[SamIam]

Are you sure its not pulling any chemical

My flow meter was stuck for awhile on my 570

 

[Braden bell]

Sorry I forgot to mention it is using chemical even when the gauge doesn't go up

Chances are the ball is sticking from residue or debris. Stick the chem line in a jug of vinegar and flush with an open flow until you have used it up. May help.

As in your dwyer meter is on six? That's a super lot of product being left behind. Most products recommend 2 on the meter.

The meter really only shoots up when priming. After that is should go down and only go up when the wand is keyed.


More than likely is fine you just gotta figure it out.

I mean, surely they disty amd/or sapphire can't screw up a brand new unit? Ohhhh wait...

Open line gauge goes up
Any tool gauge does not

After tightening everything up, check that your Chem feed filter, that goes in the jug is clean.

Is this direct injection or water box?

Pull the pump head off and check the rubber diaphragm. It may be chewed up. When that happens, the lines will jump around.
