A possible cause of the Goulds Aquavar Solo 2 providing water for only a few minutes despite reading 69 pounds could be a small leak in the system. Constant pressure systems with small tanks run whenever there is demand, and even small leaks can prevent the pump from turning off. To check for leaks, close all valves, turn off power to the controller, and observe if the pressure holds. If the pressure drops, a leak may be present. Additionally, if flow or head are insufficient, and rotation on three-phase units has been verified, a larger pump may be required.
