Wonder if there is anyone out there that can help out. Having a nightmare with my pressure pot from Glastar.
I recently had problems with my pressure pot with grit coming out initially and then just air. After reading a million different theories and testing them all with mixing valve off/on increments, checking the hose, checking the nozzle, etc etc ad nauseum, I discovered a small hole in the plastic tubing leading to the footswitch.
I cut the tubing thinking that I could just pull out the part with the hole and then re-insert the tube. Not so.
After trying to get the nut off, not having the right spanner size etc, etc, I called Glastar and spoke to one guy there.
He clearly thought I was very stupid as he explained I needed to press the lip and as I didn't understand where the "lip" was that he was talking about I sent a pic the same as the one I have attached here. I could not find any mention of a "lip" in the manual either. I eventually got a photocopy of my pic from Glastar with arrows pointing at the lip and a note saying that it needed to be pressed in.
Is there a method of push and pull simultaneously that I should be doing? All I am achieving is chewing up the remainder of the tubing that is stuck in there, thing up the lip in order to keep it "out" and getting nowhere apart from very frustrated and feeling dumb that I should be able to fix this. I am guessing I've made this a bigger problem by not having enough tubing in there to just give a good pull….
Any help/guidance would be much appreciated….
