Water problems

Subject: Water problems




A couple of years ago, I didn't get my trailer winterized before the first big freeze. It cost $1200 to have the leaks fixed. I hardly ever use my pump, but when I finally did, it was making a very loud noise, and had virtually no pressure. I recently had the pump replaced, and the new one is doing the exact same thing as the old one. When I'm connected to city water, I have no problems at all, only when using the pump and water tank. Any suggestions?

sounds like you might have debris in the tank blocking the supply to the pump. Check for any filters and that the rubber feet are secure.

Was the filter screen removed and cleaned before the pump was replaced? Should be on the suction side of the pump between the pump and tank.....
