What to do if Pulsafeeder Chem-Tech 100 fails to pump or feed?

  Elizabeth RobertsonAug 16, 2025
  If your Pulsafeeder Water Pump isn't pumping or feeding, several issues could be the cause. First, examine the suction tubing for leaks, and if the end is worn, cut off about an inch or replace the valve body and coupling nut. Also, ensure that valve seats are clean; if they're dirty, clean them, and if deteriorated, replace them. When pumping against pressure, ensure the dial is set above 40% of maximum rated capacity for a reliable feed rate. Check that the solution level is above the foot valve. If the diaphragm is ruptured, replace it, and check for pressure above 100 PSI at the injection point. Finally, if the pump head is cracked or broken, replace it, ensuring fittings are only hand tight.

Why is my Pulsafeeder Chem-Tech 100 Water Pump losing prime?
- N
  Natalie GrossAug 19, 2025
  Your Pulsafeeder Water Pump might be losing prime due to a few reasons. A dirty check valve could be the culprit; remove it and clean off any scale or sediment, or replace it. Also, check the ball checks for chips and clean them gently if needed. If you notice any deformity or deterioration, replace the part with the proper material. Chemical crystallization can also hold check valves open, so disassemble and clean the valves. Ensure that the solution container has enough solution; if it ran dry, refill the tank and prime the pump.

What to do if there is too much chemical being pumped by Pulsafeeder Chem-Tech 100?
- J
  John WalkerAug 22, 2025
  If your Pulsafeeder Water Pump is pumping too much chemical, there are a few things you can check. First, the pump setting might be too high, so lower it while the pump is operating. The chemical solution in the tank might also be too rich, so dilute it. Finally, test for suction at the injection point; if suction exists, install an anti-siphon valve to prevent siphoning of chemical into the well or main line.

  If you notice leakage around the tubing connections of your Pulsafeeder Water Pump, it might be due to worn tube ends. Try cutting off about 1 inch from the end of the tubing and slipping it back on. Alternatively, replace the suction valve housing and compression fitting to prevent leakage. Chemical attack could also be the cause, so consult your chemical supplier for compatible materials.

Why Pulsafeeder Chem-Tech 100 motor is running very hot?
- M
  Melissa WhiteAug 28, 2025
  If your Pulsafeeder Water Pump motor is running very hot, it could be due to low voltage. Ensure the power supply voltage matches the voltage on the pump specification label. Also, if you're using a step-down transformer, it might be undersized for the pump. Check that the transformer has at least 100 watts capacity.

What to do if Pulsafeeder Chem-Tech 100 will not prime?
- T
  Tommy BauerAug 30, 2025
  If your Pulsafeeder Water Pump won't prime, it could be due to a few reasons. If there's too much pressure at the discharge, open the bleed valve and circulate fluid until all air is purged from the pump head assembly, then close the bleed valve. Also, check the valves; disassemble, loosen, clean, and check for deterioration or swelling, then reassemble and wet the valve assembly before priming. Always prime the pump with the output dial set at maximum rated capacity.

  Omar GrossSep 3, 2025
  If you're experiencing leakage at the fittings of your Pulsafeeder Water Pump, start by hand-tightening all fittings to prevent leakage. Also, clean off any chemicals that have spilled on the pump. Check the gaskets for any damage and replace them if they are broken or twisted. Chemical attack could also be a cause, so consult your chemical supplier for compatible materials.

Why Pulsafeeder Chem-Tech 100 motor stalls?
- J
  Joshua GainesSep 6, 2025
  If your Pulsafeeder Water Pump motor stalls, it could be due to pumping against excessive pressure. Test the pressure to determine if it exceeds the pump's specifications. If it does, consult your distributor. Another reason could be low voltage to the pump. Make sure the voltage of the power source matches the voltage on the pump specifications label. If not, transformers are available.

What to do if Pulsafeeder Water Pump has loss of chemical residual?
- O
  oellisSep 9, 2025
  If you're experiencing a loss of chemical residual with your Pulsafeeder Water Pump, it could be due to a few reasons. The pump setting might be too low, so adjust it to a higher setting, ensuring the feeder is operating during the stroke length adjustment. Scale at the injection point could also be the cause, so clean the injection parts with 8% muriatic acid or undiluted vinegar. Additionally, the solution container might have run dry, so refill the tank with solution and prime the pump.

  Allison NealSep 12, 2025
  If you're experiencing an anti-siphon valve malfunction in your Pulsafeeder Water Pump, scale or particles might have plugged the diaphragm. Remove, clean, and reassemble it, being careful not to wrinkle the diaphragm. Check the sequence and position of parts to ensure correct reassembly. If the valves are ruptured, consult your distributor for replacement.
