Blue Eco waste line issue
Blue Eco waste line issue
A couple days ago my waste line started constantly flowing to the sump. When the spray bar activates the flow actually slows down. I have the waste tray propped open with the water level below the edge of the tray. This has been the setup for several months and has been working fine. Any ideas?

That is a new one to me but there is a leak somewhere related to the water line.
Re: Blue Eco waste line issue
Was talking with Tom at Seaside, mystery solved. He suggested that the water in the drum was rising above the top of the waste tray and since mine is propped open, that's what was draining. So, I took off the panel, stopped rotation and watched the water level in the drum slowly rise until it was spilling over and draining. Guessing there's less than 1/4 inch above the edge of the waste tray to the top of the drum, hence the slow and intermittent draining. Bottom line is that the drum isn't being cleaned sufficiently.

I am glad I helped solve the issue.
