How many times do you have to pump it? I did 12 times and it flow then after awhile it back flow back. Seem like there is a leak

Some times it seems to be slow. It can't back flow. The only car that I have that it would NOT work on is my 1999 Saturn. I can't get the pick up tube all the way into the oil pan.

I have two...one leaks and the other one I have had no problems with and it runs everyday. I would of returned the other one but didn't get it done in time. I do plan on ordering another one soon. Was told that they will honor the returns.

Pump has to be primed, sometimes multiple times depending on length of intake hose. Air in the intake line will "unprime" it and you will need to prime it until all air is out, then should pump fine.

Hi Paul H,Is there any update ? Have you talked to your technician ? It's almost a week and that pump is still not doing anything, I really want it to work.Thank you.

You definitely have to pump quite a bit. Also, don't fill too full - you need space for the air to compress. And be sure to release the pressure after each use, and clean often so the nozzle doesn't get clogged. A little maintenance is worth never having to buy another can of Pam!

Your flow rate is too high, it is going to leak if your flow rate is too much

read the instruction manual. there will be a section on this. i believe there's a "cap" that needs to be removed first. but it's likely you do not have the drain hose LOWER than the unit so it cannot flow correctly.

Mine doesn't have any leaks. Maybe you got a defected product and probably should contact the store to replace it for you. (Mine doesn't get deflated very often. I mean I inflate it like once a month or once in 3 weeks).

Mine is quite new. I don't have a flow issue at all. I do know that the style of an old farm pump dictates a lower than normal flow. As it is not aerated, the pure water flow if faster would be quite messy. I have read on other review sites that had a similar complaint and the solution was to remove or punch a hole through the screen at the flex hose inlet on the hot side will help the hot side. It was felt that the screen holes were restricting under expansion from the heat. Please note that by opening the screen, you are allowing any potential solids that could be lurking in your pipes to enter the valve and cause leaks and/or damage. To sum it up. I happen to like the lower flow as it does look like a cool old pump. Good luck, Al

I am glad to see someone else has this problem! I have had mine replaced 4 times! Did you ever get yours working? I had an old model for 10 years that never leaked, so I know what I'm doing. Frustrating.

It is faulty, I have had several of these and once in a while you get one like this...sorry but they are cheap. The one I have now flows great too, like most do. It must be something to do with manufacture process...FYI

Do as they say below, I try to flush mine out about once a year, google it and the process will come up, it is pretty straight forward and easy to do. You will need a pump to pump it though, I have had no issues with my unit I love it, we use it a lot also with 4 kids using it and taking baths ( 100 plus Gal tubs )

mine has great outflow, check your pump output?? pump size ample to do the job?? filter plugged??? is the red flag in the bubble showing the filter plugged??

So far ours is not leaking. That said it was only installed 2 months ago. Thanks for the heads up about this potential issue. I'll keep an eye on it and update my review if it becomes a problem.

You can only pump once. That one pump is enough to carry it at rated speed. If you do it more than once nothing more happens.

Yes, I have 2 or 3 times in last couple of years. It is a filtering aid andit is so good you need to watch your pump gauge to to max and back wash. Still keep watching onthe second go round meaning you are not finished backwashing. Hope this helps. It makes mypool sparkle.

I did the same thing. It's been working fine. There are several flow regulating tips that come with it also.
