Re: [VAC] cycling water pump-



Hey folks-
When evaluating my water system in my new '69 Trade Wind this weekend I 
found that the pump kept turning on every five minutes.  I am guessing that 
this means there is a loss of pressure somewhere.  I checked all the faucets 
for dripping but had none.  I also tightened all the hoses around the pump, 
the tank and the crossover valve.  The fill cap was tight.  Beyond that I 
haven't looked any further.  I was wondering what other places people have 
found to be the source of a pressure loss.  I have the original copper 
tubing and my trailer is a double with the tank up front.  I did notice that 
the wires going into the top of the tank had some sort of sealant around 
them that appeared to be cracking...also my kitchen faucet cold water has 
little flow compared to the hot (the w. heater was not on) and the bathroom 
sink and tub faucets have good pressure.  Are these problems related, 
different-help!  Thank you.

Bill- sent in my check to the VAC and am looking forward to the Olema rally!
