- What's changed? By removing the angle fitting it flows. The angle fitting may be blocked.
If you check the data plate on the machine I think you will find it preferrs 5.25% solution. Usually about 6 ml per cycle will give you 50 ppm, asuming your fill flow rate is 20 psi to give you the correct dilution. The sense boards on the back may reject the stronger solutions unless you recalibrate the board. The stronger solution , if too rich will destroy anything rubber in the pump. You may find tiny black spots everywhere, that smudge and don't come off easily. Thats you pump being eaten away.
If the chemical pump pushes fluid and then it creeps back into the bottle, your silicone tube may have collapsed in the pump. Please use hand and face protection when changing these as you will get raw bleach on your skin, and possibly splash in your face as you disconnect the fittings.
