Location: Home of Wild Turkey Whiskey | Could be an airlock, can you see the pump? is water in the line going into the pump? If so, the pump is bad. If not, look to see if something is in the vent line going to the waterfill. It could be obstructed letting no air into the top of tank(not likely). Last thing, something could be loose(busted) and water is running somewhere else. It will take the path of least resistance. Should see water running out somewhere. Hope one of the above helps. |

Thanks...I will check all of the above....It was working at the horse show yesterday, but we used up all the water that was in the tank, so this morning, I refilled my tank and now this. Not sure what is going on. If there is air in the line...how do you get it out? |

Location: Home of Wild Turkey Whiskey | At the waterfill there should be a little screen or vent tube hole or something they make a lot of different styles. The easiest way if you can get to it is undo/crack the line to the pump let a little water out and it should go. |
