Evening all,
Got a problem with a waste pump which is serving two coffee machines.
The pump in question is a Pump Technology Drainmaster. Fitted many of these without a hitch until now.
The problem is this, when the pump pumps away, water comes out of an upstand under an adjacent sink. The waste run goes up immediately after the pump and then into the supplied check valve and then loops back down underground a raised counter all in Swept elbows as far apart as possible. Emerging from under the floor it then loop back up and over and in to a gravity 1 1/2 drain. The pumped is in 1 1/4.
The gravity run is clear so it's not blocked and backing up at the lowest point.
I have the high level.float fitted and always have bar one occasion. I'm thinking this could be the issue. Where it's pumping a way a rather large volume of water could it be taking a while to drain away from the 1 1/2 run thus meaning it comes out of the upstand. I was going to try fitting a low level float and see if pumping a lower volume of water away could fix this.
Any opinions/suggestions would be greatly appreciated here! Especially those of rpm! No pressure mate.
Thanks
