TROUBLESHOOTING for Carbonator
Trouble Probable Cause Remedy
Pump motor will not run
A. Locked pump rotor-dirt or pipe
compound in pump; pump seized.
B. Carbonator flooded.
C. No power.
A. Remove and check for free rota-
tion or replace. Also check CO
2
supply, faulty single check valve,
liquid level control or probe.
B. Main water supply pressure
higher than CO
2
pressure within
the carbonator. If maximum water
supply pressure is within 20 PSI
of CO
2
pressure, install water
pressure regulator.
C. Check source of electrical supply
and for loose connections.
Pump runs continuously
A. Pump water supply restricted.
B. Pump discharge line restricted.
C. Inefficient or worn pump.
A. Check water filter and pump inlet
strainer and clean. NOTE: Noisy
pump operation usually indicates
restricted water supply. Also
check for faulty double check
valve, water leak or low pump
bypass.
B. Water inlet check valve may be
plugged. Remove, clean, or
replace rubber O-Rings.
C. To test for efficiency, disconnect
discharge line from pump. Con-
nect a 300 pound gauge and
hand shut off valve to pump dis-
charge. Start pump. Bleed off any
air, close hand valve then observe
pressure. If it is approximately
180 PSI, pump is O.K. If it is sig-
nificantly below 180 PSI, it may be
increased by adjusting the pump
by-pass. Increasing the by-pass is
accomplished by removing seal-
ing acorn cap and turning the
adjusting screw in. If pressure
rises to 180 PSI, pump is O.K. If it
is still below 150 PSI, and the
screw is turned all the way in, the
pump is worn. Replace. NOTE:
Abadly worn pump and/or prema-
ture failure usually indicates for-
eign material in the supply water.
Install a water filter in supply line.
Also check for faulty liquid level
control, corroded electrode, or
broken pump shaft.
