johnson deckwash pump servicing
Submitted by randall df223 on Sat, 2015-10-31 20:23
My johnson deskwash pump isnt priming.
I have tried back flushing it, cleaning the filter and have pulled it apart and cleaned it out. The diaphram appears in tact. The hoses arent blocked and tbe pump itself runs, but isnt priming. Has worked well for 4 - 5 years up until now.
Any other suggestions? Or does anyone know who services them in perth? Google isnt much help.

Had a problem similar to this where the pump turbine had come adrift so when you pulled it out it would appear to free spin but under load (water) it would stop while the pump sounded like it was still driving, test this by trying to lightly jam the blade while it's running.

I think you've done well to get 4 to 5 years out of it. Mine usually are stuffed after 3.
