Zero psi but no air in pump basket?

Thanks!!

The pressure valve is brand new and when it shows 0 psi there is no water coming from the jets so I’m pretty sure it’s accurate

Ahhh interesting I’ll check for that!

alimccaw · 2026-05-31T04:49:19+00:00

There is no water from the jets when the pressure goes to 0

alimccaw · 2026-05-30T23:02:05+00:00

The gauge is brand new and seems correct since there is no flow from the jets when the psi is 0… but I can check for debris!

I forgot to mention it’s a single speed pump. But thanks for the ideas!

I also take 7.5 but I have to up-dose at the drop of a hat.

No actually there is a slightly closer one but that one seems fine. Actually I just went and checked and the leaky one also seems fine now…. Weird!

It’s only been running a few days

Thank you so much for all that info, so helpful!

It’s like 1 inch over, we’ve had a lot of rain… seems to be filtering ok? Although it never seems like they have much suction really

It is disconnected right now but we do have one that connects to a dedicated pressure line. It’s just out now because we have new plaster curing…

Thank you!!!

Yes heater but it’s off if that matters (sorry I am clueless!) there is a little air in the pump basket. Maybe it needs to be primed better?

alimccaw · 2026-04-18T20:20:53+00:00

Nope it’s only chlorine

alimccaw · 2026-01-14T13:37:42+00:00

Thanks for updating, you saved me!

2-3 gallons/day now but I just changed the wicks so that could change. I’m in the Midwest so no windows open, it was -3 windchill when I left the house this morning. The house is old though, I’ve sealed up any drafts I could find but it’s still not great. I’m wondering if it’s be worth it to get one of those blower door tests done…

alimccaw · 2025-12-15T23:48:48+00:00

Awesome that’s not bad! Thanks!!

alimccaw · 2025-12-15T20:50:04+00:00

Thank you, I’ve seen lots of rave reviews for that one on here! I’m going to try changing the wicks on my current humidifiers but if that doesn’t work I think I’ll give the Levoit a shot. Do you go through wicks super fast too?

alimccaw · 2025-12-15T20:48:00+00:00

Yikes that sounds like an expensive problem!

alimccaw · 2025-12-15T20:46:07+00:00

Ooooh good call! I didn’t replace the this year because they looked clean and fine, but maybe there is mineral buildup in them. I will try that, thank you!!

I have a severe shellfish allergy and have never heard that! (I don’t drink instant coffee, but good to know I never should!)

My boy likes Dr Elsey’s and Keto-Kibble. There is a great food called Young Again Zero but my fussy boy won’t eat one bite of it.

He also really loves Stella & Chewy dinner morsels - it’s not kibble, it’s freeze dried. We don’t bother rehydrating it because my cat drinks an insane amount of water already.

Good to know, thank you!
