water pump

we just got camping in the water pump is not working.I found the water pump it has power to the pump but the pump feels like it is just half pumping. It will not pull water from the tank. Any suggestions.
  • I took the pump apart cleaned filter and opened a faucet like Harvard said and wa-la. Thanks for the tips. Another satisfied customer
  • motor is vibrating fairly slowly compared to how they normally run
  • Does the unit have a winterize valve? Also, to prime a pump you must open a downstream faucet to allow free flow of water and air.
  • Make sure the suction line connections are tight. If loose the pump could be sucking air.
  • Turn it off and remove the water lines, one of them has a screen (filter) inside of it. Clean that out and re-install. Should take care of your problem.

    Good Luck
