Fixing My Chauvet Hurricane 1800 Flex Fog Machine (Pump Replacement)

[@aaronproductionslighting]

Update: I went to use this machine later on in the summer and it just stopped working again! I will have to see what the issue is this time!

[@callumsutherland7370]

Hi, what was the new problem and did you manage to fix it? Pretty much have the exact same problem, no broken spring but the pump simply buzzes with nothing to show for it. Thanks for the video, looking at a pretty expensive solution with importing the pump costing more than the pump's actual price xD

Awesome video, thanks for showing the necessary steps. I figured getting the new 1800 Flex was not good enough, hence seeing all the negativity about it. Once again, thanks!

[@aaronproductionslighting]

Yes, the new ones are complete trash! Thanks for watching! Glad it helped

I had the same problem, reached temperature but had a no fire issue. My first problem was the fluid line was dried and broken, second problem the pump was vapor locked. Replaced the line and opened the pump, pushed it in and let the spring release and put it all back together amd everything worked just fine. I thought it was all good until o tried testing DMX and noticed pin 1 and 2 had been broke off, then removed the board amd soldered in a new five pin. Works like new.

Great video thank you. I have a 1600 and I think the pump is bad at mine. Do you think that pump is good for my 1600? Also can you provide the link to the pump as well.

[@l.arykernation7957]

Thank you so much buddy

[@valdezruiz2]

Thanks a lot for the video, its exactly what it happen to me. I have only one question. Wich is the polarity of the motor? (the oil pump +/-) Or is not have polarity

[@cpnbnanamn]

It's AC voltage. No polarity.

[@aaronproductionslighting]

@cpnbnanamn is correct

Hi thanks for the video, i saw your post on amazon and then discovered you had made a video very nice, my problem is i have the 1300 hurricane and the pump is angled which seemed to work good in this one, but mine would be straight going in, was just wondering would the original metal end from the old pump fit in the new metal end of that new pump if i took away the angle part thanks.

[@aaronproductionslighting]

It should, the threading may be different but since this just has a rubber grommet with a compression connector you can take the old one off and slip on the new one, just be careful bending the tube so it doesn’t kink

[@dannywinsor6535]

Do you happen to know where I can buy the tank filter that attaches to the hose line?

[@aaronproductionslighting]

funny that you ask that since I am looking for more of those myself, since I have a bunch of Chauvet fog machines that have mineral deposits all over the “filters” which are really just cone pneumatic silencers with push to connect fittings… but I can’t find them easily. I’m sure chauvet sells them on their parts store but I’m not going to pay $5 for one plus $10 shipping

[@mitchjordan3243]

I have a newer model 2016 and newer how can you replace that pump? is there a reset procedure?

[@aaronproductionslighting]

You can replace the pump in that one, but it is a different model pump. it could also be the transistor on the main board that controls the pump that went bad. there is no reset.

[@morrishopkins1170]

Where can I find some tube?

[@aaronproductionslighting]

I got it here: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077WD6NVN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[@mattfishler7827]

Can you provide the link to the pump?

[@aaronproductionslighting]

Here it is: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B089W7W6V1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 price has gone way up since making of this video

[@kenhabbestad6108]

I have a non functional 1800, anybody interested in it?
