New water mate pro solar driving me mad. Set up carefully but now ( in manual pump ) pump motor groans down to a halt after 5 ish seconds, outlet connection leaks powerfully and valve connection moves sometimes pushing off. Alarm link water reaching drippers.
Plenty of outlets set up.
How do I test for air leaks before pump inlet and whether the valves are working. Should valves click discernibly?
Tank plenty of water no kinks in inlet.
Any thoughts / theories? Thanks
Further tests on manual watering:
Disconnected valve inlet- good smooth flow alarm after c. 10 secs
Disconnected valve outlet good smooth flow alarm again after 10 secs.
No leaks
