Smoke absorber pump struggling? My absorber runs at 5 and then periodically drops to 3 like it's losing suction periodically...

Only thing I can think of is the sponge filet being clog. Mine works pretty good

Make sure the hoses are clear and not kinked. When the smoke absorber is on, the air actually exits the SMD rework gun, so anywhere in the hose from the smoke absorber through the machine and back out the hot air gun could be the culprit.

Not mine- runs continuously at whatever level i set it at. I cant even imagine how (mechanically) it could do that. I would contact their customer service.

Do you hear the motor speed drop as well? And are you running the hot air rework at the same time. It did it to me the other night I had the iron, rework wand, and the smoke absorber on all at the same time. And when the heating element kicked in my air would drop. Then come back when the iron turned off, then start again when the iron needed to heat. Did you remove the red plug from the bottom? And if that fails crack it open and see if any lines are loose, or cracked. If all else fails write me back and I'll help ya more if I can.-patrick

mine was fine the first few times I set it up. Now is does lose some air, prob 25% or so after a couple days. Nothing I can't live with, but then I usually take it down after the weekend/few days.

It sounds like you have a real problem with either the outlet or your vacuum. Try different outlet and if same result have qualified person check out your vacuum immediately.

I have not had this happen. My suggestion would be to run it on the correct setting. I could see this being an issue if you are using the lower settings on high carpet but ours works just fine

Haven't encountered this problem. Our vacuum is working just fine. Might want to try cust. support.

The red "on" switch has to be held up the entire time the vacuum services are required. Once released, the vacuum does not continue functioning. I've checked the instruction pamphlet several times but am unable to find anything to the contrary.

I found that I had to have my device at least three (3) trunk diameters away to prevent turbulence for causing it to act up. You might try moving it a little further away from the furnace and making sure you have a good seal around it (another issue). I also took a small piece of flexible hose and attached it to the pick up that goes into the trunk. Cutting the hose at a 45° angle and facing the open end of the cut toward the air flow, improved the response.

I would check the pumping pressure. Insufficient pumping pressure won't be able to move the cleaner. Clean filter/cartridge or remove any clogging debris in the pumping pipes or adjust water branching handles as necessary to recover the presure over the cleaner. I also will check if the balance bar is still on the cleaner. Falling out of the bar also can makes it stop. But that's an easy fix.

Make sure that you have no kinks in the hosing, and then you turn the water on all the way so it's shooting out the bottom stick in the tank and turn the blue switch and it should begin suction. If not double check to make sure all connections are done correctly and tightly. If all else fails contact the company for support and possible product replacement. The best of luck to you once it's working its a wonderful product

we went thru everything. finally retbloc which urned it to the company and reported the lurex was installed incorrectly which blocked the exhaust port. the net was also full. these two items contributed to the igniter not receiving ample airflow. since the weather has turned chilly, we haven't set it up to see if that resolved the problem.

You might try backwash your pump till water is clear if green, raise for about 45 sec. then try your vac. again. This might help

I think it might be from the foam filter that needs cleaned out once in a while. Ours stopped picking up the other day and it was also from the foam filter,,,i cleaned it then it worked fine. Hope this helps some for ya!

Sounds like you have a strong motor for your sand filter, I put a 1 horsepower in to replace the 3/4 hp one which died on me and I find I have really push and pull the pole sometimes to move the vac head. I also try to lift up the edge approaching the debris so that it sucks it right up and then the other side does the brushing.....hope this helps....Geo

Mine was barely moving when I first got it. I tried everything and then finally decided to clean the main filter. After I did that it started working great. Hope this helps.

I have not had this problem with either pump I installed. Possibly water is not staying in the line and the gaskets are getting dried out or your intake and overboard discharge are clogged and water is not flowing smoothly through the system or (if you have one) your holding tank is full so there is no place for the water to pump into...

I had same problem after just little over year old. I thought water level may have gotten low too many times. Just bought used one this time. 4th pump in years.

Could be your outlet flow...pushing it to one side..could be that the hose is very brittle and does not expand nor maneuver around the pool very well...might need more hose...I add and take out hose, bi weekly it makes the vacuum clean in different patterns....
