Corrective Action
Pump is noisy
High-pressure dry piston.
Pressure in the reaction cell
is unacceptably high and the
pump is getting audibly
noisy.
Change sleeve/seal.
Pump Doesn’t Start
Dry piston seals have
recently been changed.
Pump fuses blow
immediately after changing
the seals and sleeves.
Dry piston requires break-in
time of a few minutes after
seals are changed.
Pump Doesn't Start
Pump switch off (dry piston
pump must start from
atmospheric pressure).
Locate pump switch on
pump and verify position.
Turn ON switch.
Fuses Blow on Startup
Emulsified oil (worn seals
and head on dry piston
pump).
Inspect oil for integrity.
Change pump oil, and plug
unit into wall to run for 10-15
minutes.
Water in Pump
Cracked coalescing filter.
Milky yellow oil in the pump
window.
Change coalescing filter and
pump oil.
Reaction Cell Pressure High
chemical trap clogged.
Remove trap from the
vacuum line and confirm
expected pressure readings.
Change chemical trap.
Reaction Cell Pressure High
Leak in ozone generator.
Air regulator falls rapidly to
zero when turned off.
Replace ozone generator.
Pump Loses Oil
Gurgle Sound
Ballast Open.
Oil level drops.
Reset ballast
See Pump specific sections.
High level of oil in
Coalescing Filter
Plugged oil return restrictor
No visible movement of oil in
the return line.
Change filter and clear
restrictor.
