does anyone know if they have addressed the issue of weighing down this pump

No, it's pretty light weight. I have not tried it but could prob cut a hole in the bottom and add sand. Then plug the hole with a cork or something. I have done this with light weight lawn ornaments and it works well.

That's a tough one. Seems I have to actually start using slight force at about 30 PSI. My tires need 50, so from 30 to 50 it gets a bit tiring. Still not hard, just a lot of pumping. Also seems the faster I pump the better it works. Slow and steady doesn't seem to move the gauge.

I do not think so. I know when I turn it back on the pump needs to be restarted.

I don't know if an out of balance condition could affect the pump but it is possible. If it is leaking at all, then replacing it is imperative. It will only get worse. Try searching the internet for a video on how to replace it. Then you will have a better idea of all the affected parts.

I was able to ajust this one to my pump that runs at or around 28 lbs. The ones that Home Depot had did not work because they are for a higher minimum pressure than my pump. Note: it takes awhile to adjust even with the instructions under the plastic cap.

My #s were off by a few too. I do not recall which ones because it was so long ago. I do recall being concerned aboutit, but the pumps looked the same. It all worked out fine. Look at the shape, and the bolt hole placement.

I spoke with the company this afternoon and they said that the heater is the best they can find in order to keep the price down. They are open to any suggestions for another heater that is both better and less expensive. They also said that they have since switched manufacturers for their filter pump to Intex. Personally, I have not come across any problems with the heater or pump but I was curious if the company offered other options for me to consider for the future.

There should be a dial on the pump itself. If not, put a kink in the return hose.

No ... But you must have the proper psi downstream for the pump to work .. The psi is listed on the pump instructions ...

I have not - I have always used this type or the cheap plastic pumps, sorry.

This seems like it would be a problem with the pump that the factory could take care of. If it is less than 90 days old i would think that they would take care of it.

That happens with mine too (difficult to pump).. Probably normal =[ I suppose that's why they cost less than big name. Worth contacting Stant with that question. Let us know what you hear back

Just leave it alone. It's part of the sensing operation. Still think it is a great little pump!

Yes you will get a little more pressure What those numbers mean is the pump will run until the pressure reaches 60 lbs then shut off and will not come on again until the pressure drop to 40 lbs then comes on and pumps up to 60 again

I agree. It's been a while since I used mine but I was thinking it was hard to pump making the setting of an exact pressure rather difficult.

A long time ago I did purchase a pump from the company. I don't know which models they sell. But worth a phone call.

Hi: I bought the pump to use with an HO scale river lock on my layout. It seemed to work fine at first when I was testing things. I was able to pump about 1 quart every minute which was fine. When I put it all together the pump would work fine for a minute or so then stop or slow to just a trickle. New batteries did not help. I did not think of the back pressure and that could be my problem. I replaced it with a small pond pump. Good luck.Steve
