FIELD SERVICE TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
VRTX UNIT
1. Pressure gauge reads low.
• Clean strainer.
• If low on start-up, check pump rotation.
•• If running backwards, have electrician change two of the three black wires.
2. Vacuum gauge reads low.
• See pressure gauge.
• Make sure liquid filled pressure gauges are vented (see installation instructions).
• Check vacuum gauge line to make sure it is not plugged.
3. Gauges fluctuating.
• Check suction for leaks - starved for water.
• Check for pump cavitation (minimum submergence).
4. If pump does not come to full pressure after the above remedies are applied, hold hand over the discharge
vent tube to build up some back pressure in the reactor chamber.
5. If there is still a problem, shut down the VRTX unit. Wait for 2-3 minutes and re-start.
NOTE: If air leaks into the suction piping, the VRTX will not work (i.e., cavitate). The suction piping
must be air-tight.
