Flotec FP7120-08 replacement
- Check the pressure switch: The pressure switch is designed to turn the pump on and off as needed. If the switch is faulty, it may cause the pump to continuously cycle. Check the pressure switch and replace it if necessary.
- Check the air valve: The air valve is designed to release air from the tank as water pumps into it. If the air valve is malfunctioning, it may cause water to stream out of the valve when pressed. Check the air valve and replace it if necessary.
- Check for leaks: Even if you don't see any visible leaks, there may be a small leak that is causing the pump to cycle continuously. Check all connections and fittings for any signs of leaks and repair as needed.
- Consider a replacement tank: If you are unable to locate a direct replacement for your FP7120-08 tank, you may be able to find a compatible tank from another brand or model. Consult with a plumbing or water pump specialist to determine if there are any options for a drop-in replacement tank that would work with your system.
Note that it is recommended to consult with a professional plumber or water pump specialist to ensure that any repairs or modifications are done safely and correctly.
Why was my question deleted about Jado Classic Roman Tub faucet leaking badly?
Hello Vanessa
I am here for about 10 to 12 hours a day and don't recognize the question. I answer most of them regarding plumbing. We do have a member who appears to delete questions to gain points. I have called him out, but nothing back from him. He has far too many points for the number of questions he has answered. I answer about 60 a day or more. Another issue is that we have an AI Answer Bot from India name Raja Akeem Akhter answering questions in a very vague and inaccurate manner, and I know the IT Department are deleting his answers. I hope they aren't deleting the questions rather than the answers! Very often the answer will be mentioned in the email you get from Fixya.
Anyway sorry about that experience, let's try and fix the issue you have with your faucet.

So you are having issues removing the decorative cover that hides the cartridge top? There is a trick. Take one of the thin plastic bags that your fresh produce comes in from the supermarket and make a hole in the bottom. Feed or over the handle and slide it down to the bottom of the fitting. Tape around the bottom and squirt a liberal amount of WD40 down into the bag. It will penetrate up into the threads. Over the space of 24 hours give it another couple of shots of WD40. Then remove the bag. Clean the bell and put 3 wraps of duct tape about the bell. Then you can use Channel Lock Pliers to apply pressure and remove the cover.

Sta-rite mse-7 vertical jet well pump will not prime.
If your Sta-rite vertical mse-7 pump will not prime, there are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
- Check the water level: Make sure the water level in the pool or spa is high enough to reach the skimmer and the pump. Low water levels can cause the pump to lose prime.
- Check the skimmer basket: Make sure the skimmer basket is clean and free of debris. A clogged skimmer basket can restrict water flow and prevent the pump from priming.
- Check the pump lid O-ring: Make sure the pump lid O-ring is in good condition and properly seated. A damaged or misaligned O-ring can cause air leaks and prevent the pump from priming.
- Check the suction plumbing: Check the suction plumbing for leaks, cracks, or other damage. Any air leaks on the suction side of the pump can cause loss of prime.
- Check the impeller: If the impeller is damaged or clogged with debris, it can prevent the pump from priming. Remove the pump basket and inspect the impeller for damage or debris. Clean or replace the impeller as needed.
- Check the pump seal: If the pump seal is damaged, it can allow air to enter the pump and prevent priming. Inspect the pump seal for damage and replace it if necessary.
If none of these troubleshooting steps resolve the issue, you may need to call a professional pool service technician to diagnose and repair the problem.
