- M
  Mary CoxAug 10, 2025
  Several issues can prevent your ECHO MARINE Water Filtration System from building pressure. Check for the following: * Air entering the intake plumbing: Tighten all hose clamps. * Air in the intake system: Allow more time to prime. * A stuck high-pressure pump valve (especially after long storage): Perform a freshwater flush to assist priming if no boost pump is installed. * Closed seacock: Open the seacock. * Clogged seacock (e.g., barnacles): Clean the seacock. * Fouled strainer or filters: Clean the strainer and change/clean the filters. * Incorrect through-hull fitting location: Use a strainer scoop. * Worn motor brushes: Replace the brushes.
