I’ve been using a Hailea 480L/H pump to feed my top drip rings..All is great for a couple of weeks, but twice now the pumps have died on me.
The pump runs 24/7 and has 8 rings with about 15cm of drip tube on each ring, they all run via an 8-way manifold.
Both pumps worked great to start, but then started making horrible sounds and stop moving water.
Do I need more power, or is 480L too big and so fighting against the drip rings back pressure?
Any ideas would be greatly received ????
Thanks in advance
