Subject: water system Author: Harvey Lawrence [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 01/ 12/ 04, 7:53am In reply to: Steve O 's message, "Water system not priming" on 01/ 11/ 04, 10:27pm You are correct in assuming the filter is suspect. start by changing that first or by passing it entirley, on a temporary basis. You probably get shore water through the clogged filters because it is under greater pressure than the pumped water from your tank. If after replacing the filters your system does not work as it should then continue on to the check valve or possibly the pressure control unit sometimes in theline.Anyway check the simple stuff first.

[> [> Subject: Re: water system Author: Lucas Willemse [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 04/ 5/ 04, 8:50am I had the same problem on my 1980 FC35. The pump would run but would take a long time to build up pressure and make a lot of noise while running. I proved it was a supply line problem by using a small hose to the pump from a bucket, it worked fine. I then tried to blow out the line to the tank with air, a slight improvement but no cure. Upon inspection I found a galvanized coupling on the output on the tank going forward to the pump. I removed the fitting and found it completely clogged with rust. Changed the fitting to a brass coupling and cured the problem, now the pump works great and is so quiet is is hard to hear it run. I found one more of these galvanized couplings in the output of the pump and it had also started to build up rust, changed them both. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
