recoveringbuilder Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I have a Clearwater sewage treatment plant with blower, I just discovered yesterday that the blower has stopped working, it hasn’t tripped the power supply so what could be wrong? I’m waiting on one of hubbys workmates to come at the weekend and open the blower case but he admits he knows nothing about them, just can’t open it myself as the last time hubby opened it before he took ill there were mice inside it and that’s a no no to me!

joe90 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Is it making any noise? (Motor running) if not then I would guess electrical. If it’s making a noise but not pumping the diaphram is probably split and usually failrly easy to replace (and cheaper than a motor). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No theres no noise at all which is why I realised that it had stopped working. Who would I be looking at to fix it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe90 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Just someone with a multimeter to test electricity is getting to the motor (and does not mind mice 🤣) with mine the plug for the motor had a fuse and that may be simply blown. If there is a three pin socket in the box (like mine) then plug something else into it to see if power is getting to the socket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok I’m sure his workmate will be able to do that 🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gone West Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 17 hours ago, recoveringbuilder said: I just discovered yesterday that the blower has stopped working I had a Secoh air pump in my plant and when a diaphragm split it would disconnect the power and so turn the pump off. I soon learnt to change the diaphragms every few years so I didn't have any nasty surprises in the middle of winter. Maintenance kits are easy to come by. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recoveringbuilder Posted February 20 Author Share Posted February 20 Turned out the run off drains had blocked, I’ve just had them replaced yesterday, waiting on an electrician to come and look at the blower and see if it’s fused or needs replaced 🤷🏼♀️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
