Hi All,
Just an update on my resolvement for this. I purchased a new pump as bernd suggested which did not solve the problem. I was still left with what seemed like the tube being only half full of water or a giant bubble air trap sitting in the top of the tube. After numerous attempts of pinching the tube to try and create more pressure to get the bubble to flow out the outlet pipe to no avail, I decided to try another method of lifting the machine up at the outlet end, low and behold the giant air bubble exited via the inlet area near the high voltage end of the tube and now I have a beautifully clear full tube of water. I have no idea of what caused this initial air trap in the first place, but I am guessing that when I removed the tube to flush it out and give it a good clean, some how an air pocket must have found it’s way inside, and I kind of trapped it in once I connected the hoses back up.
But either way, perhaps if anyone else is having simular issues then you could try lifting the machine up at the air outlet end of the tube.
Thankyou everyone for your comments, help and input on this, much appreciated.
