Do u mean pump shuts down like no electric or water not moving? Water stops mean air in system open valves one at a time and burp the pump. Remove air

Use a shut-off valve for your pump. These pumps have a NORMAL leak down when turned off and you will lose some vacuum. This is normal. To maintain vacuum shut the valve and then turn off the pump.

I have not had a problem with mine. Did you check out the video's on how to clean the pump? That might help.

I just connected it directly to the hose on my automatic pool vacuum. Basically I have one section of the hose directly connected to the vacuum inlet, then the canister then the rest of the hose connected from the other side of the canister. No special fittings.

First make sure that your intake hose isn't clogged. That would stop the motorized brush on mine every time. If a clogged hose isn't the problem and the reset button doesn't do the trick, then I'd call Dyson's service department. The number should be on their website.

I installed intake in July 2013 had no problems like you have described until, January 2, 2014 now I am trying to find the answer to the same problem .I am almost sure I have a vacuum leak or maybe leaks around intake because when engine gets warm it misfires worse..

I also had this issue. My problem was I did not screw the plastic ring part tight enough around the base unit and hence there was no pressure building up, and the pump wasn't dispensing. I called the MISTO customer service and they send me a replacement pump for free, in case there is an issue with the pump part.

It has nothing to due with hoses or lengths. The problem is with the internal seal of the pump head or the seal of the quick change valve. Either the O-rings on the valve are not sealing properly or the pump head is not properly sealed internally. You can try a little silicone lube on the valve O-rings to see if that stops it. Mine did the same thing! What fixed it was to return to Amazon for a replacement. Everything was fine with the new one.

Our problem was with the "fit" of the tank where it seated/sealed with the suction system. The vacuum pump worked. I have found in the past that when a major component of a lower end vacuum cleaner goes bad that repair is as expensive as replacement. Our Bissell now works ok after some adjustment and I will modify my previous criticism. I hope this helps to avoid wasting time and money.

Mine stopped as well, it was the on/off switch...I called Eureka and they gave me a list of warranty vacuum shops to choose from. Was in shop for 3 days and he mentioned it was one screw to get to part that broke so if it happens after warranty I know my husband can repair it.

Best thing is to unplug the filter. Then prime it by removing the cap on the intake tube, pour water until it fills up. Tightly secure the cap then run. If that doesn't work, then while it's running unsnap one of the 4 tabs and lightly lift up, that'll usually purge the air. If no go on those. Remove your hoses and check them for air leaks. I actually used Vaseline on each hose connection and on the main seal around the pump head. That all finally worked for me.

Verify your intake house is tightened.Also check the gasket in the house intake at the pump end did not fall out.

Great question! I actually had to plug in mine and check it out. To answer your question there should be air coming out UNDER the canister. Perhap the air is blowing, "reflecting," around the actual canister. Gabe, I don't think I'd worry about it unless the amount of air is a lot. Then we may be looking at an actual leak in the vacuum tubing.Have a great New Year. My best, bob

sometimes little pieces of sand/dirt get into the filter pump. take it out of water, take hose off and blow into the pump itself to clear it. mine also stops at times because the kids play in my fountain and get small debris in it......good luck

I am not sure what vacuum model you have but it could be one of several issues. The wand pushes into the lower body of the vacuum and at that point it opens or closes a valve to allow you to use the sweeper or the wand, If the wand has no suction it is generally caused by sticky valve or something is lodged in the valve assembly creating the problem. I would also check the hose and make sure nothing is lodged where the hose enters the lower part of the vacuum. The hose on most models unscrews with a 1/2 turn. If you cannot get suction you may need to take it in for service.

Sounds like there is some type leak in your system where the pump has to keep trying to pump water because it can't make a complete seal when it tries to shut off. Wish I could give you a better answer.

This should not be occurring; it should pop back out. You're creating a vacuum somehow. Check the lines to make sure they are not kinked or plugged.
