Water Pump and Battery Question
While sanitizing my fresh water system and running water through the cold and hot supply lines, we had the lights on and when I opened the hot water faucets, the lights flickered and the water pump was much loader. When running the cold water lines the lights did not flicker. The water heater was not turned on at the time and was filled prior to running and water through the lines. The water pressure seemed to be low when running either the hot or cold water separately.
I checked the battery charge with a multimeter under no load it read 12.65; under the load from running the water through the hot water lines (when lights flickered) it read 11.96. I have two questions:
1. Do the meter readings indicate a problem with either the battery or the pump drawing too much power?
2. Why would the lights only flicker when running water trough the hot lines even though the water heater was not on
?
