Ballast?

[JoHNI_T]

my centre bag keeps filling while I am trying to fill one rear side. Its just comes out the drain once its filled like a ballon.

why is this? any idea's I was searching old threads but couldnt find this exact issue

when full everything stays full and is fine, evrything drains fine as well.

but it takes 12 minutes or so to fill the rear so I dont like wasting the water on the front once its filled.???

Check the solenoid. Most of the time thats the problem.

In my previous experience, most problems were attributed to the "little black switch"..... If it is set to manual then the bag will fill when another pump is on. It may also fill while driving. Also check for debris that may be preventing the solenoid from closing.

thanks guys,, its not the black tab for sure, but I will see if I can open them up and check for debris,,

I need to rip apart the manifold as well it pisses some water while fill/draining. no biggie but it should be fixed
