Shurflo Pump Not Pumping

Surflo Pump Not Pumping
Having trouble with your Shurflo pump? Is it running but no water is pumping?
This could be caused by a number of factors. Check the in line filter (If you have one) for debris and gunk. The most common cause of a shurflo pump to stop pumping water is a blocked filter or pipe.
This can be a simple fix to avoid picking the easy but most expensive option of a replacement pump.
If this fails, your going to need to dismantle the pump and check the diaphragm is functioning and free of debris.
These can also get blocked from the inside should some debris get past the filter. If your water pump hasn't been used for some time like mine then the diaphragm can become stuck and will need to be freed up.
When I dismantled mine it didn't take much to free up the diaphragm and it was working instantly saving me around £85.00 ($115.00).
If it's a worst case scenario and there is absolutely no way your pump will free up and work you can purchase your pump from the following link. It's not affiliated but is a match to the pump I use.
These pumps are used in R.V'S and motor homes but mine is used for my reach and wash window cleaning kit so these pumps are readily available and you may even find a great one second hand from www.ebay.com
I hope this video has helped you to get your pump going again. Please support my channel by liking and subscribing to my channel so I can make more of my helpful video's and follow me on my journey through cleaning.

This solved my problem, turns out the guy who installed the tank didn't fit the inline filter and it was full of plastic shavings from the Fiamma water tank. Thanks mate, I owe you a beer or 5.

Mate, you are a gem. Thank you! Starting up my winterized RV to chase the 2024 eclipse and...no water! Thanks to you, problem solved. Lovely Welsh (?) accent as well. Cheers.

Tried the "tapping with a rubber mallet" while running and "Praise Jesus" it started working and drained the whole fresh water tank. I'm ready to go. It helped to say a little prayer first.

What did you do with the grub screw and was that the reason it worked?

[@mrmopressure]

Could this same thing possibly happen on a Remco pump? And could battery also have something to do with it?

[@cleanmateltd737]

Hi Mr Mo Pressure, yes this can happen with a Remco pump but when you say battery, do you mean there is no noise coming from the pump at all when you initially turn on the power? Is there any display on your control unit (If one present) please subscribe to my channel. It really helps support me. Thank you 👍

[@davidking4712]

My pump was last installed vertically the other way with diaphram up. Can I install like you have here and hook it up to flow in the opposite direction?

[@cleanmateltd737]

Hi David yes you can. We have other vehicles with the pump mounted upright and they work great. This particular vehicle has the pump mounted this way as It came to us already set up this way. It is recommended to mount it as in the video however just in case in the unlikely even the pump leaks and water gets into the motor. Hop this helps and please remember to like and subscribe to my channel it really helps us to grow. Thanks for your support

So if its broken the first thing your gonna wanna do is hit it with a hammer 😂. But really this was very educational. I use these every day so its nice to know how to maintain them.

[@cleanmateltd737]

I know it seems odd doesn't it haha. I first remembered this from a plumber coming to my parents house many years ago (not that I'm old or anything) and he hit the central heating water pump and it started working. Sometimes it's only a temporary fix but If it's because the pump hasn't been used for a while it unseizes it and works long term.
