Water pump

[Yahoo_Upload]

I’ve been having the same problem. ?Last outing, even with a full fresh tank the system lost pressure when I manually turned the pump off.Suspecting a leaky bladder, I had to remount the accumulator (pressure) tank to get a tire gauge on it. ?No problem found.Read some posts and concluded maybe the water pump internal check valve is leaking, allowing water to backflow through the pump.l dissipating pressure.Just got a check valve I ordered to install in line with the pump on the tank side to to if it fixes the problem. ?Will report results.Other ideas gratefully received.Jed S1998 Monaco Windsor 36’Sent from my iPhone On Apr 1, 2019, at 6:24 PM, dleeadkins@...

My fresh water pump is not picking up any water when my tank gets to half full. Any ideas? Donald A. 2002 Monaco Windsor PKDD

Donald,Probably a tired water pump. I just replaced our 13 year old Surflo pump that was mounted under the gray tank near the output of the fresh water tank. The original pump was in a terrible location and almost impossible to work on. The check valve in the pump had started giving trouble and gave us a good excuse to upgrade.I knew that there is a lot of unused space above the gray and black tanks on our coach because we have had the white panel off about three times. We decided to put a new Remco 55AquaJet-ARV pump on the ceiling of the compartment and cut down the white panel so the pump, latching relay, system heat thermostat, and the water hose reel would be accessible without removing the panel. Now the only reason that the panel would need to be removed is to replace the SeeLevel sensors. We were concerned about the new pump picking up the water when mounted two feet above the fresh tank so called Remco and was informed that the pump would self-prime at up to 15 feet above the water source. We proceeded with that plan and it works great.Bob Nodine2006 Diplomat 40PDQnear Knoxville TN***************************************************************************************************************************My fresh water pump is not picking up any water when my tank gets to half full.

There is a filter at the pump inlet that could be dirty.Are you saying the water pump works fine when the tank is below half full? If that is the case, then I don't know what is going on. The water pump is fed off the bottom of the fresh water tank.?Mike S.2005 Beaver Patriot Thunder

I don’t think it has always been this way. Have not used the fresh water pump much since I bought the coach in December. You are on to something though! I did replace the water pump. It was an Aquaflow 5.3 gpm/65 psi. It was original dated 2001. I thought I should replace it. I purchased one on Amazon. I talked to Remco Aquajet yesterday. He thinks I have a leak on the inlet side allowing air in. I did have fitting on that side that didn’t act right. They are a 90 deg 1/2 inch barbed to 1/2 pipe thread. I could not find the exact one that is there now but I found one made by Sureflo. I get those tomorrow. I am hoping that is the problem. I’ll update you.?ThanksSent from my iPad On Apr 2, 2019, at 12:20, stuplich@... [Monacoers] wrote:

Thanks Bob. ?Did youMove the hose reel? Or has it always been in that position? Your pump and accumulator are in the same position where my hose reel currently resides. I like the idea of removing the top portion of the vanity panel.?Also, is it safe to assume the light blue pex is your work? ?All of my pex is white.?It’s always interesting to see how differently the wet bay is laid out in the “same” coaches! I’ve opened that compartment a few times when fixing the hose reel and one stuff and it is laid out very differently than yours.?Steven Parvin has the exact same coach and floor plan as me (2006 Dip 40DST), built just a few months apart, and his is laid out differently, also.?Thanks for your help. This will be very useful. I’ll also add the permanent water filter, which I don’t currently have... ?I use a portable Camco filter.?Scotty H.2006 Diplomat 40DST / 2017 GMC Canyon,?Marietta, GA On Apr 3, 2019, at 9:24 AM, Lee dleeadkins@...

JOELYour water pump is in the wet bay. ?There is a power line to the pump, there should be a plug in this line, unplug it and the use a meter on the coach side of the line. ?Make sure you have the pump switch on and the pump lights are on. You should see 12 volts, if so the pump is bad. ?If you don't have voltage then your latching relay is bad.FORMER OWNER OF AN 07 DIPJACK & BETTY11 DIP / 14 CRVSent from my iPad On Nov 30, 2019, at 5:30 PM, jonjaye jonjaye@...

Good suggestions.? You can also do an old Indian trick.? Run a piece of #14 wire the pump POSITIVE (temporary connection) over to the House Bank or wherever you have 12 VDC.? The Latching relay, memory says, is a 10 amp service.? That is why some of the folks that upgraded to the AquaJet (Remco) have used a relay as some of them need 15 amps.? ANYWAY
.run a temporary service from the Positive of the House Bank to the pump lead.? Tap it or connect it with a screwdriver or such so you can make it temporary.? Put 12 VDC to the pump motor.? IF it comes on and runs
.then the issue is UPSTREAM in the pump relay.? IF it does not work
.you need a NEW pump. ?NOW
.there will be more opinions on this than the “discussion” of the impeachment
.and that is APOLITICAL
.just that are MANY opinions. ?I recommend the AquaJet Remco RV55.? Amazon usually has them in the $150 range.? That is a wonderful replacement. ?Good luck. ?Tom Cherry (Tom C.)2009 Camelot 40 DPQ2014 Yukon ?From: Monacoers@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, November 30, 2019 9:28 PMTo: Monacoers@yahoogroups.comSubject: Re: [Monacoers] Water pump ??
