Livia 90 - Vibration pump going bad?

#1: Post by **skadoodle** » November 22nd, 2022, 2:40 pm

Hello All,

Having an issue with my Pasquini Livia 90 where it pumps water intermittently when the vibration pump kicks on. You can hear the pump turn on, it will change noise slightly and spurt water out of the inlet on the reservoir. If I place my hand above the inlet, I can feel pressure coming out instead of sucking in. The issue seems to come and go right now.

I disassembled the Vibration Pump, and it looked fine as far as I could tell. Looked clean with no blockages.

Just wanted to make sure that this is likely the vibration pump before I order one or if there is anything further I should check.

Thank you!

You can make sure no air has gotten into the suction line, or the pump is airbound.
Try disconnecting the pump discharge and run briefly, then reconnect.

Thank you for the reply, I did try that and it didn't seem to resolve the issue.

I ended up ordering a new pump, got it installed 2 days ago and so far so good. It is a lot quieter too, which is nice. Wanted to update the post in case anyone else in the future has the same issue.

Cheers!
