Hello all,
I hope someone can help with this bizarre problem.
Our house has pressurised water supplied from a Wilo FMP303 (with fluidcontrol) pump in the garage. Recently I've been hearing a squeaking sound from somewhere around the pump when it turns on. On closer inspection I see water squirting out of the back of the housing when the pump turns on and pumps water. When I say housing I mean its the plastic dome shaped cover at the rear of the fluid control unit that sits on top of the pump. It looks like water is squirting out of a very small hole of the dome housing.
Because the pump is in the corner of the garage and connected up to pipes I can't get a really good look. The needle in the gauge looks to be sitting just below 2 bar (when the pump is off) and climbs up to just below 4 bar (when its on).
Just to clarify, the squeaking (water squirting out) happens as soon as the pumps turns on and again when it finishes a cycle.
It is concerning as its been like this for a number of months now.
I can't be sure but I did think the pressure from the taps in the house hasn't been as good in the last few months, not sure if this is related.
It this water squirting out from the dome housing normal?
Is there supposed to be a very small hole at the back of the housing?
What is going on?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
