Bullet 1 issues

I think I'm going to head down to tractor supply / home depot tomorrow and see if I can find an o-ring that would fit. Most likely that's the problem. Thanks for the catch there Kevin, never would have thought about that.

 

Sweet. It's just when I was checking it out I was just looking at the flow paths and how it works. Even to the point with how much it seemed likethere was water in the injector body which I didn't get.

Any wat, air enters the injector around the body. So there has to be a seal from the body to the atmoshpere for air. I think an o-ring is missing. Too bad, have all you need here at the plant.

 

I got a new o-ring. I can't figure this out. The air valve does nothing.

 

Any bullet 1 owners have suggestions? When the air valve is off, the water is foamy and bubbly. When the air valve is on, the water is foamy and bubbly. Is this normal. I've never operated one of these before. It's just the air valve seems to do precisely zilch. It doesn't control bubble amount or size. What else can I do?

I'm about to say the heck with it. The damn vinyl hose just popped off the bullet injector (not sure how..) and soaked my floor. Hopefully the damn halide ballasts still work as they took a hit of water (not on). This sucks.

 

Callprecision marine. I hear they're very helpful

 

Thanks, unfortunately it's the weekend and they're closed. Thought I may be able to find a bit of assistance here and maybe get it running before Monday...

 

Are you sure its not to big of a pump? If its right than maybe a line is clogged. I would take it out and light weight tear it down to see if there is anything that is out of whack.

 

It's been torn down, is as clean as can be. Was missing an o ring which is now replaced. It requires a large pump. Mag 12 is right on par with what it needs. Can be used with a pan-world 100 px-x which is 1,270 gph. This pump is 1200 gph. New air line. New air valve.

Ehh. Good thoughts, thanks for the advice.

 

I meant are you sure its the correct pump. Cause I had bought a Euro skimmer once and it didnt come with a pump, so I had to buy a pump and when I hooked this pump up to the skimmer I couldnt control the foam. Well I had took it back to the store and the wrong pump was in the box for some reason or it was labeled wrong. It was a simple oversite. Maybe it needs to have a break in period. Goodluck. How is tenn treating you? Beautiful country, my parents live just north of the Cherokee nat forest.

 

Holy balls. When these things skim, they skim, don't they. Wow.

somehow it started working. Not sure how. Now I just have to find a way to keep micro bubbles from clouding everything.
