I have about 10 feet of pipe on the rise. It was about ~5 feet of vertical rise from the water level to the top of the dam.
Should I put the check valve back on? Do I need more water ABOVE the pipe in the water, to get enough pressure going?
Fish n chips � I was wondering if I have an air leak anywhere, but I don�t know how I would determine that, short of putting glue over all of the joints on the outside of the pipe. The pipe should not have collapsed as it is sch 40 PVC.
The fill cap is pretty tight. I�m using a 3 foot wrench on it and getting it nice and snug before I go and open the cap at the bottom.
I could try a regular hose, but what would that accomplish? I had it running for almost 2 days, but then the water level got very close to the pipe inlet. I believe it sucked air.
I just can�t figure what I am doing wrong, right now, as to why it wont restart?
