Today has been pump day.. On the suction side of the pump the short brass connection :- 1.The threaded connection to the pump body has been tightened with plumbers tape on the thread ( it was loose) 2.The one way valve was checked and it appears to be working ( one way ). 3. The hose onto the connection was cut back to give a fresh connection ( the 30mm cut off appeared to have a split and certainly mis-shaped ) 4. The pump cover which had a slight drip was removed , cleaned off, new liquid gasket applied and reassembled. It requires 24 hours to go off. So now its a waiting game until tomorrow morning. We haven’t touched the pressure switch yet. Standing by Beam IV , out ..

Stuart, Good luck. It sounds like you had a suction leak causing the pump to not get to cut-off pressure. Bill
