The air insufflation device in a yacht pool is not working
If the air insufflation device in a yacht pool is not working correctly, it is essential to understand how to address the most common issues. This system creates powerful air jets that rise from the pool floor to the surface, generating turbulence through dedicated nozzles. Below, you will find a guide to identify and solve frequent malfunctions, whether the system uses a touch button or a pneumatic button, restoring its proper functionality.
The air insufflation system with touch button is not working
For air systems equipped with a piezoelectric button, follow the steps below to resolve the issue.
Check the piezoelectric button
The first step is to ensure that the signal is correctly transmitted to the electrical panel. Use a multimeter to check the signal continuity between the button and the connecting cable to the panel. This cable, typically housed in a watertight box, is usually about 10–15 cm long. Due to frequent exposure to moisture, it may become damaged. If signs of oxidation or short circuits are detected, replace the cable or connector to ensure proper system operation.
*Inspect the circuit breaker
Check if the circuit breaker has tripped or is damaged. If the breaker is burned out, it must be replaced with one of the same amperage and technical specifications to provide effective circuit protection.
Pump pre-filter maintenance
Pay attention to the maintenance of the pump pre-filter, including its internal basket. A dirty pre-filter can impede airflow, reducing system efficiency and increasing the risk of overheating or malfunction. Regularly check and clean the basket with running water to ensure optimal pump performance and prevent potential issues.
Check the check valves
Disassemble and inspect the check valve located on the suction pipe. Debris buildup can block the valve's plate, preventing the correct flow of water. If the valve is stuck, it must be replaced. Using corrosion-resistant valves is recommended to increase the system's longevity.
The air insufflation system with a pneumatic button is not working
For air insufflation systems with a pneumatic button, follow these steps to address the malfunction:
Inspect the air button
Check that the pneumatic button membrane is not damaged. If the button is filled with water, the seal is impaired, preventing air from being sent to the tubing. In such cases, replace the button immediately.
Check the air tube
Inspect the tube connecting the button to the electrical panel, ensuring it is not detached from either the button or the connection point at the panel. Then, check the tube along its length for cuts or breaks that might impair functionality. If damage is found, replace the tube with a new one made of silicone or another durable material.
Inspect the circuit breaker
Check the circuit breaker for signs of burns or short circuits. If the breaker does not trip correctly, it should be replaced. Regular periodic checks of breaker efficiency are also recommended to prevent unexpected failures.
Pump pre-filter maintenance
The pump pre-filter must always be kept clean. If debris or dirt accumulates in the basket, the water flow can be obstructed, compromising the entire system's functionality. Clean the basket regularly, and replace it if necessary.
Check the check valves
Regularly clean the check valves to prevent blockages in water flow. If the valve plate is stuck due to debris or scale, the valve must be replaced. To avoid frequent issues, use valves with self-lubricating seals that reduce the risk of blockages.
