Solution
• Make sure that the air pressure produced in unload mode is between 25 to 40 psi.
• Make sure that the air pressure produced in auto mode is 50 psi or more and changes with water pressure.
• Make sure that the air pressure produced in fixed mode is between 145 to 150 psi.
Verify that the air discharge solenoid has power and is operational —repair or replace the solenoid.
Repair or replace the leaking components.
Replace the air check valve or mount it correctly.
Adjust the trim valve.
Relocate air lines to the discharge side of discharge valve.
Increase the compressor speed (rpm).
Replace the lines with the correct size.
Make sure that the throttle valve is open and properly adjusted.
• Check the components for air leaks.
• Reattach, repair, or replace the malfunctioning components.
• Make sure that the air line is not kinked or obstructed—clear any obstructions.
• Make sure that the balance valve tubing is installed properly.
• Make sure that the balance valve tubing is not leaking, kinked, or obstructed—clear any obstructions.
Make sure that the trim valve is open and properly adjusted.
• Make sure that the balance valve tubing is installed properly.
• Make sure that the balance valve tubing is not leaking, kinked, or obstructed—clear any obstructions.
• Make sure that the trim valve is open and properly adjusted.
• If the trim valve is already open, make sure that it is not obstructed—clear any obstructions.
Reattach, repair, or replace the tubing.
Adjust the trim valve.
Adjust the system to approximately 150 psi in fixed mode.
