Question:

I BOUGHT THIS PUMP FOR A BUILD FROM SCRATCH TRAILER.WHAT IT DID I DONT UNDERSTAND.IT RAN ABOUT 30 MIN.PUSHED ABOUT 40 GALLONS BEFORE IT WOULD GET ANY MORE THAN 20 PSI OR ABOUT 3 GPM.I CHECKED 12 VOLT POWER,GROUND,KINKS IN LINES,SUCTION AND DISCHARGE LINES,BLOCKAGE IN FILTER.ALL LOOKED GOOD.I WAS ABOUT TO TAKE LINES AND TANKS APART FOR INSPECTION,AND IT STARTED WORKING,NOTHING WAS CHANGED.I HAVE RUN ABOUT 400 GALLONS THROUGH IT AND IT WORKS GREAT.I NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED.THANKS A BUNCH.

What were you using as a power source when this happened? Is it possible it was a battery that had a lower charge at the time which caused the pump to lower it's output?
