Robert-
I'm going through some issues with the onboard pump
myself. I've got a PAR pump (peters and russell). It runs but I
couldn't get the system to pressurize. I disassembled the pump and the
rubber seems find. No signs of dry rot but the valves appear rigid.
Should they be pliable? And about how long does it take to
pressurize. I kind of cheated and charge the system using city water then
switched to the freshwater tank with no success. Is there a check valve
prior to the inlet? In taking off the hose leading to the pump I noticed
coiled wire in the hose. Is this to retain it's shape and keep it from
collapsing?
