Time is the worst factor these days.. I could overcome the other two..

Three things rarely found together... Motivation, weather, and time!

Newty and Moombadaze--
OK help me out here. I went out and purchased the new watermaster(Orbit) vlave. I did what you explained in your pictures. I put the pump in the water and turned it on and nothing came out. Not even a drop. Also, just to let you know, I installed the Tsunami 1200GPH pump. I wanted to make sure the pump worked. I took off the valve and there she blows. So I know the pump works. What am I doing wrong?

[moombadaze]

Tazz, is it possible the valve is in backwards? they have a little arrow to indacate the direction water should flow.

I had mine all back together before i saw that little arrow

[tazz3069]

The arrow is pointing in the right direction. I even turned it around to see if that would work and still nothing.

Here is a stupid question, should the valve be in the horizontal position? Right now, I have the pumpin the bucket of water sitting vertical. The valve is also sitting vertical.

[moombadaze]

spring is removed in the valve? can you blow air thru the valve?

dont think vertical would make a difference.

[tazz3069]

yes the spring has been removed.
Here is another dumb question. Well when I purchased the new valve, it came with the solenoid. The solenoid is 24v. Our boats are 12v. Did you get your solenoid with a 12v of power?

[moombadaze]

1" or 3/4" valve?

[tazz3069]

Yes I can blow air through the valve. I even removed the solenoid to see if it was causing a restriction.

[tazz3069]

3/4" valve.
