I noticed my water flow was low so I ran it for 1 min and only got 2.5 gallons from a catpump rated at 5GPM.
I tested with the hose coming off the water pump and got 4.25 G
I found the whip hose I use to mix chemical was part of the problem so I eliminated that and now am getting 3 gallons
I changed hoses that go to and from the lil giant and no improvement
the loss seems to start at the pressure regulator manifold.
I am descaling now but doubt that will help with the flow.
Not sure if it is a problem with the pump itself being it is almost 20% low on output. Could this cause the flow to be worse from resistance as it goes through the manifold and other hoses?
Or more likely a clogged up somewhere or a failing unloader sending water back to the water box
Any suggestions on where to go next?
