Here are a couple simple mods we did to our Jayco. Each took less then a half hour to perform.

It's very important to drain that pump and never leave it completely full of water: it's a cast iron pump, and is thus not rated for domestic water applications. Domestic water is very high in oxygen, and thus will corrode the cast iron volute and any other ferrous materials in the water stream. They are used in closed loop systems, like boilers, where the dissolved air breaks its bond with the water molecules, and are removed from the system. Acceptable pumps volute/casing materials for domestic water applications: bronze, stainless steel, and plastic.
