Hiblow Air Blower F.A.Q's

What is the life expectancy of a Hiblow Air Pump?


Hiblow is the leading manufacturer of linear technology, it has exceptional build quality along with extremely robust parts. Typically our customers are seeing in excess of 8-10 years of life, if all necessary precautions are taken and the service instructions are followed.


Why has my Hiblow Air Pump stopped working?


There may be a number of reasons why it has stopped working dependant upon its age. In order to determine the cause, you should firstly isolate the electrical supply. Then remove the cover (unscrew 4 bolts at each corner and slowly remove the casing, also remove the sound absorber-white cloth). You will now be able to view the internal parts. There are 3 common problems that you should look for. 1. The small pin has snapped 2. Any black dust 3. The Switch shows sign of damage. Please find the explanations below to each problem.


Why is my Air Pump noisy?


The diaphragms may have started to fail or have failed. The longer they are left without replacement, the more damage may be caused to other parts of the pump. All hiblow spare parts are available on direct drainage.


Where can I find my Hiblow operating manual?


You can find all the service manuals along with the data sheets for the HP and XP series on the product page by searching the name of the pump you have on Direct Drainage. Give us a call on 01388 537 050 if you can't find it.


How often should Hiblow diaphragms be changed?


Hiblow recommends that you replace the diaphragms every 5 years, or when there is reduced performance or they show signs of wear. This can significantly prolong the life of the pump. You should always replace both diaphragms at the same time.


Why has the small safety screw snapped?


The safety screw (pin) is a safety device. The screw is designed to break if the diaphragms fail. We highly recommend that you DO NOT just replace the pin or try to repair the pin. This will only do more damage to the pump. You need to replace the diaphragms along with the safety screw.


How often should a Hiblow filter be changed?


If you remove the top cover of the pump you will find the inlet filter. This small rectangular filter should be washed out every 6 months and replaced every year. Failing to do so can reduce the pumps flow by up to 30% and cause possible overheating.


How to tell how old a hiblow pump is?


The first four digits of your serial number, located on the side of the pump e.g 0804 are the year and month, so 2008 April.


What is the most common problem with the Hiblow Air Pump?


In most cases the customer says their pump has stopped working. This is almost always due to the diaphragms failing. When this happens the safety screw snaps. This is a safety feature which breaks the connection and prevents further damage to the other parts of the pump.


What is the difference between the diaphragm and the chamber block on a Hiblow Air Pump?


The chamber block is the complete chamber that includes the diaphragms and valves. The valves get clogged when the diaphragms fatigue or fail. Many people choose the chamber block rather than just the diaphragms as it is much easier and straight forward to replace. The chamber block kit also includes the replacement safety screw.
