| Q: |
Why Should I use "Buon Vino" Filter Pads? |
| A: |
You should use Buon Vino Filter Pads
because the micron sizes and consistency of Buon Vino Filter
Pads have been designed to give optimal performance when used
with Buon Vino wine filters. The flow rate of the pump is designed
to work in conjunction with the Buon Vino Filter Pads to give
you the best filtration possible. For more information, please
visit the Filter Pads page here. |
| Q: |
I have no prime from my pump. |
| A: |
This particular pump works on a check-valve system.
The check-valve is a functioning part of the pump and will deteriorate
due to the acidity from the wine. It is easily replaced. By
not allowing solid particulate like oak chips etc. to get into
the pump your check-valve will last longer. This part will eventually
need changing. |
| Q: |
I need a new motor because I am not getting any
suction. |
| A: |
If your motor is running when you turn it on, you
do not need a new motor. You need to replace your check-valve. For check-valve replacement instructions, click

| Q: |
My gauge is not registering. |
| A: |
Again, due to the acidity in wine the small plate
that registers your pressure will deteriorate and you simply
need to replace it. Unscrew the gauge to remove it and replace
it with the new one. Make sure you put Teflon tape on the threaded
portion, to prevent any leaking. |
| Q: |
I turn on my motor and it will not run. |
| A: |
All our motors have thermal protectors built in.
This works in the same manner as a fuse in your house. This
part can also be replaced. Please contact the retailer that
sold you the filter or Buon Vino Manufacturing directly. |
| Q: |
I just put a new set of pads in my filter and my
gauge shot up very quickly. |
| A: |
Check to see if you have placed your pads and/or
filter plates in the filter housing correctly.
Identify the type of wine you are making to the grade of
pad you are using. If your gauge rises quickly, this means
that your pads are saturating quickly. You may need to filter
with a coarser pad.
Do not start filtering from the bottom of your container,
especially if you have sediment. The pump could draw the sediment
into the pads and quickly saturate them. Start filtering about
half way down your container.
The gauge increases in pressure proportionately to the saturation
of the pads. The more saturated your pads get the more back
pressure is created, therefore the higher the pressure on
your gauge.
Recommendations:
- Always flush out your pump well after use and avoid getting
solids into your pump. This will make your check-valve last
longer.
- Clean and dry off the whole machine prior to storage.
- Rack your wine prior to filtering.
- Lubricate your tightening screw with petroleum jelly or
food grade grease. Keep the screw running freely.
- Avoid getting liquid on the motor section.
