My brand new SIHI liquid ring pump just wacked out. Been working great for the last month. pulling 28 inches consistantly and was OK this morning. Went to walk the lines and NO pressure at booster. Ran back down to the pump only to find the inlet/water coolant supply was blowing not sucking as was the exhaust. What the heck happened? Any ideas? Please help!!! Thanks :cry:

Solved. releaser pipe came undun and sucked too much air - hence just the blowing. Good Thing. Led us to find that one of the bearing covers was loose. Panic over back to 28" Yippee.
