Hey guys anyone have any issues with the Kamora not pulling it was working fine for a few days couple weeks actually then I noticed my dkh dropped by .20 I went to go look at my drip and nothing. So i took the intake and outtake tubes off and I used like this plastic string
stuck in it both nozzles seems to be trying to pull water now. Do these things clog? I don't think I like this. Any insight?
 
They typically don’t clog except right at the end of your output hose as the residual in the hose evaporates off the water and deposits builds up over time.
Check any connections on the intake side for possible air leaks. As you doser gets older the hose inside the head will stretched out to the point it no longer seals at the rollers letting a syphon form or the fluid return to the dosing container. Either way when that happens it will no longer create a vacuum to pull in anything. Then you need to replace the hose. That should not happen for 6 months to a year or more, depending on how much you use it.
 
I have only had this pump for about a month. I am going to ensure I have the hoses clamped tight to get a vacuum and make sure no air leaks. Thanks.
 
So what I decided to do was instead of pushing water to the CR I am pulling it thru. So far so good. I also flushed my tubing out with RODI. Keep your fingers crosed.
