The turbine was stalling easily and I felt a tight spots like pits in the bearings. Ordered a pile of repair parts and took it apart. THEN I found out only one of the two bearings was in the replacement part pile. Bad bearing seal has let water in and rusted it.
Couldn't leave machine down, so I put it back in service without the turbine.
Kifco recommends an inlet pressure of 127 PSI for my unit. I only get 100 with turbine in place retrieving hose (108 disengaged). Remove turbine and I get 115. Unit runs WAY better. AMAZING. I can't go higher pressure on my plastic underground supply lines. Thus, my query on another way to retrieve hose.
