      Update:

      Friend told me that the suction is very low when she tried it. I didn't have the diaphragm part that attaches to the hoses to fully test it.

      Curious what could cause low suction at this point?

          I asked if she tried with the wall adapter in case the battery wasn't fully charged. She said she hasn't but will try later today. Hoping just a battery thing.

          According to her before liquid entry everything was working normal

            According to the label, it has a 11.2V, 2000 mAh Li-Polymer battery:

            Would indeed be interesting to know if the issue was resolved with the device running from wall power (adapter) vs. batteries. That should tell us if there is anything more that needs troubleshooting.

              I never heard back from her after my suggestion of using the wall adapter/charging the battery.

              Either it was resolved or she didn’t care to have me investigate further.

              I’ll update if I ever hear back from her though

                she is maybe too busy doing things the natural way .

                  Remote pump control ideas.
                  by Dannyx
                  Good day folks. A task was given to me to redesign the control system for a pump system in a remote location. The idea is that there's a tank which has a float or some sort of switch/sensor to detect when it's full/empty and this runs some pumps accordingly. The trouble is the pump and the tank are like 4km apart, from what the chap who inspected them on our behalf told me, so the way this currently works is by using some unknown boards based on SIM cards (see the pictures). From what I can assume, when a contact closes at the "client side" (the tank), it calls up the "server side"...

                  ZD-915 vacuum pump motor mount service alert
                  by sam_sam_sam
                  If you have this Desoldering Gun Station there is something you should be aware of the two screws that hold the motor to mounting for pump can come loose and make raddling noise

                  One note this unit has been repaired already once because of switching power supply regulator ic chip failure
                  Now this with the vacuum motor mounting issue yes I give this Desoldering station a very hard work out and use about every weekend to do some type of project

                  The fix is taking the vacuum pump assembly out and take the metal cover off and you will see the two screws on it
                  ...

                  Another water pump automation project (suggestions ?)
                  by Dannyx
                  Good day folks. Some of you may recall that a while ago I was struggling to put together what I considered to be a very basic automation for a water supply system. It didn't work out the way I intended and I learned my lesson to do it properly from the start, rather than try to reinvent the wheel and patch something together myself from scratch, so I'll stick to commercial alternatives for future projects and such a project just came in today !

                  This one is easier simply because this time the pump and level sensors are in the same place, so they don't require a remote connection....

                  water pump Scala2 - electrical diagram
                  by betmen
                  Hello,
                  Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the pump mentioned?
                  The markings on the board are 98800964 r07, two or three capacitors are burnt.
                  I don't have the board with me yet, but I don't know if the printed lines on the board are visible due to the short circuit that occurred and how the capacitors were connected.​

                  ZD desoldering station pump rebuild
                  by stj
                  just did one.
                  works great.

                  so here's the discoveries.
                  the pump "modules" have 4 parts, the main body, the outside bit, the inside bit - screwed to the main body, and the diaphram.
                  the failure is the inside bit, it has a rubber coating for some reason that becomes tacky and breaks down - contaminating the diaphram.
                  so you need to clean everything to get rid of all the tacky black stuff.
                  then reassemble it.
                  *BUT*
                  you must put the 2 screws into the assembly only finger-tight.
                  if you tighten it properly the valves dont work....
