Been fighting with this device all day. Can't get coolant flowing for the life of me.
These things are siphon systems, which is cost-effective, I get it, but really stupid in my opinion. I would rather have a dedicated pump to push coolant and mix with air at the nozzle.
I have cleaned the entire device. The solenoids check out. No blockage in the lines. I seem to have an issue with the nozzle itself. If I remove it from the manifold, I get coolant flow. Attach the nozzle, I get bubbles sent back to the reservoir??? The first thought was maybe the pressure line is plugged into the wrong location on the manifold. Nope, checked that, switching these was a step backward. The nozzle is free of any blockages. I can pass compressed air through it, no problem.
I hate being defeated by a plastic jug with an airline out the side...
Rant over.
