[VAC] Re: Water Pump Question



Hello All,          Have enjoyed reading list a long time and now have a
question. Last spring I bought a 72 A/S to use while I finish work on our 64
Overlander. The 72 had been setting a long time. Had to fix 7 busted water
lines due to freezing. The last owner didn't know how to drain anything but
the water heater (thank goodness for that). Had to repair busted holding
tank and replace the sheet metal box and angle iron supports since they were
rusted completely out. Made a stainless steel box that will out last
everything else. The fresh water tank hadn't been used for years (city hook
up) and after MANY flushes and finding the blown fuse everything worked fine
for 8 trips. Now the pump runs and we have pressure through out but pump
won't cut off on its own. Pressure switch points are clean and work fine if
you touch them. The inline filter used to stay full of water , now it won't
fill up but still have pressure. Seals and hose connections seem to be
tight. Any suggestions appreciated.    Bob... bovi2@prodigy.net
