Subject: water leak Author: Ken [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 02/ 3/ 07, 2:30am I have a 84 pt35 drips water out the water fill connection when pump is turned on, not bad but bad enough, I assume it is the water fill valve that you switch when filling the coach, but cant figure out which valve, any ideas? also have 3 lighted light switches in the back bedroom closet, one is the water heater, and I think the other two are seperate battery heaters? anyone know for sure? thanks in advance, ken [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: water leak Author: Ernie Ekberg [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 02/ 3/ 07, 10:25am Ken- those switches are- first- engine block heater, second- water heater, third, battery heaters. Battery heaters are probably gone by now. You may have some crud in that flow back valve. Sometimes on mine, I have to stick something in there to stop it from spewing.

[> Subject: Re: water leak Author: Rich D. [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 02/ 9/ 07, 11:07am Ken, If the tank fill valve had a problem your pump would cycle on and off when you are not drawing water. It sounds to me like the back flow preventer built into the fill connection is stuck. Cleaning these usually does the trick but if not, they are inexpensive to replace.

[> Subject: Re: water leak Author: Bob Dilks [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 02/ 10/ 07, 1:35pm The tank fill switch operates a Sporlan (electric solenoid)valve under the bed. Your city water fill is a Jabsco Model 44410-1000 City Water Regulator manufactured by ITT Jabsco. The ease or difficulty of replacing the unit depends on the coach's bed configuration. Cost of the City Water Regulator is about $35 from West Marine, more at Blue Bird. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: water leak Author: Don [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 02/ 12/ 07, 5:04pm Hello, You can replace or clean the guts on the jabsco unit by turning the center plastic ring (that has two holes) counter clock wise. put a pin in each hole and put a wrench over the water fill and turn applying preasure to the pins with the wrench. I found a doner unit on ebay. But you may be able to refurbish the old one. Regards, Don [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
