Topic: Fresh water tank Posted: 01 Feb 2021 at 2:47pm |
Jato,
I'd be very interested in your opinion of new pump. I hate to recommend items and then have a less than positive result, though I did. THANKS partner.

Again, thank you Mike. Just ordered the Revolution pump you recommended and got it on E-bay for $ 56.53, will get it in a week.

Thank you Mike! Yep, good 'ol Camping World. If you want to spend the most buck for your bang, shop there. I am going to order that today, it will be my 2nd mod for the year. Definitely much cheaper than my first mod this year, replacing the 10 year old Dometic with another similar Dometic RM 8501 - not cheap.

Jato, I did have old pump and new box:) I replaced a 4008-101 A65 Shurflo with the newer Revolution 4008-101 E65. It is much quieter. Both were 3GPM 55PSI pumps. Amazon wants 60 for them, Camping World has them on sale for 150???????.

Hey Jato,
It's a Sureflo and I bought it at Camping World. It was a newer model at that time. I looked at Sureflo Website and they don't make the model anymore and suggest new pumps are quieter. I'll check today and see if old pump is in building, if so I would have put it in new box.

Which water pump did you purchase and did you get it on ebay? Mine is 10 years old and although still works, has always been quite noisy.

I had that exact problem. Pump replacement is a breeze, after the bed is out. plan to add inline connectors to make the next replacement easier. You can get a new pump for the $60 +/- mentioned above. I have not found an overhaul "kit" but there are parts available for it. Mine came with a screen filter in the intake side. It had a significant amount of polyethylene shavings in it. That might be the reason the pump check valve doesn't close. If you have time, remove, disassemble and clean out the pump and see if that does it. I needed to have mine ready, quickly, so I put in a new pump.

Was having the same issue. Glad I check the forum. Tried as Offgrid suggested and that fixed the problem. Thanks

Oh that came from the toilet...
