Water pump question about one on an RV.

Thanks, C-man.

I'm thinking about reinstalling just to see. I didn't pull the cover until I had it out.

Man, it works fine. The only thing is that it did this before (worked OK after a power down) so I'm not super-confident. It still could be a thermal issue.

Good call on the shards being from installation; I wouldn't have thought they would have been so careless, but it is an RV. These are the same people that use a double-Roberts screw and strip them when they're putting them in.

It is a AquaTech 5.3 GPM. Aquatech wants $375 to rebuild it with a 2 week turnaround.

Yes!


Why is Aquatec telling me $325?

Pretty much.

I would run some liquid dishwasher detergent through the black and gray tanks to clean the sensors. Make sure the tanks are about 1/2 full, then drive it awhile, then rinse when you get stopped.

Lube the slides, lube all moving parts, with a good silicone lubricant.

Man, that's Greek to me, but I'll print it a forward to the owner.
Thanks much.

I've stopped trying to make my sensors work.

The dishwashing liquid may shake the crud loose.

Also, lube the hubs on the axles.

Yeah, we have boats and 4 wheeler trailers, just no experience with RV types.
Appreciate the input, I'll forward it along.

Had the same problem and the check valve on the city connection/water feed had broke into pieces.

Try just putting a plug on the water inlet and see what happens.. I fixed it with a "y" fitting with shut offs. Keep everything closed and see if pump will build up pressure.
