Forum Discussion
- Yeah, after our first dry camping trip I cleaned all the plastic shavings out of the water pump filter......
- Okay just to update......the problem ended up being in the clear filter located at the pump intake. It was picking up junk when turned on allowing only a little bit of water for a bit. thanks alot for every'ones input and helpful suggestions. HAPPY NEW YEAR
- It might be a vacuum leak on the intake side of the pump or lift tube. The pump could be sucking air. Good luck.
- Either the pump is tired or there is a restriction in the inlet to the pump.

I think you're right
After closing an open faucet pump should be able to rebuild pressure and shut off with in a few seconds.
Your 2007 pump is tired.......diaphragms are probably stiff
You can rebuild or replace.

. It seems to me that if there was a leak that the pump would never shut off but it does.
Have you got outside and looked for leaking water?
Did you replace the hot-water heater plug?
Water leaking out the hot-water pressure vent? Cycle it a time or two.
Check under sinks in cabinets for leaks. Connections should be tightened every so often. Check the inline strainer connected to the pump. Check and clean faucet screens.MNtundraRet wrote:

But pump needs work - Are you hooked up to electricity, or just battery? Mine will not pump well if the batteries are low.
- Winterizing valves are in the right direction. Fittings are all tight. The pump does pressurize and stop eventuallyand water will come out for short timebut then the water pressure stops and the pump fires up again until pressure is returned.
