Hi PS is generally low water pressure but it can also be too high of water temp according to my manual.Roger that! Thank you.
I was at my new boat today, cleaned the a/c strainer and the salon a/c isn't cooling below like 86* and the forward salon is giving me a "PS HI" fault.
Here's my plan of attack:
* Plan to first run straight fresh water through the system and see what comes out
* If the fresh water doesn't help out, I plan to use barnacle buster or something to clean the lines.
Based on what the strainer looked like, I suspect the a/c water lines are gunked up.
Am I planning on doing this right? Have any other suggestions for me?
Thank you,
Tim
Assuming not enough water flow is causing the problem, a good flush is a start.
My problem Started slowly and it turned out to be water flow. The pump wasn’t spinning enough to push enough water through the 3 AC lines. I guess if I had to describe it, I would say that the magnets got weak. The impeller magnet wasn’t spinning fast enough to push the water. If that’s possible.
when I received the new pump and compared the magnetic attraction to the old pump there was a huge difference. The magnetic impeller wheel on the new pump was difficult to pull out whereas the magnetic impeller on the old pump was very easy to pull out. Once the new pump was installed, all was well.
