A coffee cart operator is unable to get consistent water flow from a Shurflo pump when the hose is kinked or when using thick hoses, causing the pump to cavitate and run dry.
Existing Shurflo pumps lack a bypass valve to allow flow when the line is blocked, and standard hose fittings may not match the pump's inlet size, leading to cavitation and dry running.
