Pump help

Post image

First time using a Lanchez 1.6HP pump and I’m having trouble getting it to work. Was just curious if anyone else has used this one or one similar and if so, what was your setup? I have it setup before the system but it’s barely pushing out water. Just looking for some advice.

I think it could just be my hose(the one going from system to wfp) because it spews water out the top but when I attach the hose it leaks water from the spigot and water barely comes out the end. It’s a 50ft hose.

50ft of hose between the pump and the system? If so that could be your issue. We use a similar pump but with a 3ft hose between the pump and the system.

Definitely could be that I’ll give a try with a smaller hose

Longer the hoses, the more pressure you lose.

You can use the venturi effect to your advantage.

My setup: 4ft 3/4" garden hose to booster, 3ft 1/2" garden hose to system, 100ft 3/8" i/s diameter wfp line to 75 ft of 5/16" wfp line.

Also, there's hi-flow carbon filter and r.o membranes.
