    Atk stops working humming on pump

    My new atk.
    In a clean New setup no fish no nothing

    Every week my atk stops

    I go back check it out turn it from auto on and the pump hums

    I have to stop it and then taken apart the RO line from the pump and I blow in it and it seems like there is something in there .

    I turn the pump on it works fine shooting water all over .

    Replace the line and it works

    Again this has happened more than 1 time in 1 week.

    I'm going on holidays and this isn't a great atk if it fails on me

    Need help

    I have had the same issue with no fix, I made a post a while back but nothing came of it. I was just at the Lansing MI frag swap for a couple days and got my alarm for my ATO not working just a few hours after leaving. Not good.

    I have also found that shaking the pump while on (humming) gets it started.

    Just a thought...................if you are pumping from a great distance, say from the basement up to your tank on the 1st floor, I've found that the pump stops working well before my top off barrel is empty. I assume it has something to do with the distance and head pressure it has to overcome. If your top off container is a long way away you might try moving it closer just to see if it makes a difference.
