R-3 Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Have you checked the air intake on the pump? Make sure its hooked up right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dee77 Posted September 4, 2010 Author Share Posted September 4, 2010 Yes it is I messed with it for hours and the turbine is made to make bubbles but none are coming out so I think I may just need to buy a new turbine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kshack Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 If the pump is turning it is possibly a blocked air line that goes to the pump. Happens quite often. Just take apart and open the blockage with a drill or ? (just twist by hand, not in a motor). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowman Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 I have a needlewheel pump you can use until you replace yours. I think it may work for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
