Re: Our pump has problems!
Did you notice the compressor getting very warm? Did it take a long time to get up to pressure? My guess is you have it running in reverse. Try switching the wires or the relay direction.

Re: Our pump has problems!
reverse? I though the pump was bi-directional?
check your fittings all around with a little soapy water. Or pump up the system with a pressure gauge attached, turn the pump off, and watch the pressure - you should not be able to see the needle on the gauge move in less than a minute or two. |

Re: Our pump has problems!
I would try disconnecting the entire circuit after your pressure gage and pressure switch. Once you have done this plug the open end. If you are using tubing, a t-fitting with two ends connected with a single loop of tube works well as a plug.
Try your compressor using this setup. This will help determine whether your problem is a leak or actually with the compressor. For instance, if the pressure goes up to 120 in this situation, you would know that you had a leak somewhere. If the pressure still stops at 75 psi then you need to start looking at your compressor. Hope this helps. |

Re: Our pump has problems!
make sure are your components are running in the correct direction especially the regulators....(hint: turn them upside down there is normally an arrow indicating the path air will flow)
