My freshwater pump has been cycling every few seconds, but I had no leaks anywhere. So I opened up my pump to clean out the trapped debris (fixed the cycling issue) and was amazed at the internal mechanics. I thought they were just one plunger with a check valve on each side. What cool engineering! Thanks for this video!

My SEAFLO 33 series pump (8A) is causing my boat battery voltage to drop from 12.6v to 10v when engine not running. I'm guessing I need to check the ground wire.

Great video. I have this kind of pump in my motorhome and want to prepare my motorhome for the winter. How can I empty the pump for water so it will not freeze during the cold winter in Norway ? Is it possible to use a vacuum cleaner to suck or blow (for example from the bathroom). Will this completely emptying the pump ? Or is the best way to run the pump for a little time with no water in the system ? It is the pump that is the issue here, not the plumbing system.
@tsbrownie11 ай бұрын
In theory you could run it with an open input line for a while. Or blow air in the input while running it. It's probably safest to loosen the screws and open the chamber a crack. The orientation can make a difference how much water is left inside. Or you could clear it by running alcohol through it! 😉
@theengineer703 ай бұрын
my 2006 8009 has some slight suction on start-up, which quickly dissipates (i.e. no more suction) at the intake (no hose). if i manually feed water into the pump, the pump does create pressure, eventually maxing out and turning the pump off. so the switch is working and the pump makes pressure provided i feed the pump manually. does this mean the rubber valves on the suction side are worn out? i've taken it apart and cleaned it several times, so i'm certain its not debris in the pump. the unit is on a pressure weed sprayer. hate replacing it, we've been through a lot together, but i'm not sure its economical to rebuild. excellent video, btw, exactly what i was looking for to understand how this thing worked.

Was hoping for some troubleshooting tips. Specifically, what should be the intake pressure? You said output should be 30 -40 lbs. However, to test in field means to flood the host structure (in my case a camper) with water. There is a -t-junction on the input side with siphon hose (for winterizing -one side of the T is to the fresh water, the other the siphon hose. If I test the suction pressure there, what should it be?

That's a good question. I've had 4 pumps now, and in every case it's the rubber valves that rot first, followed by the "pistons." If the rubber parts were of silicone rubber, I'd guess the things would last 10x longer. I've tried to find replacement parts, but of course they have no financial incentive to sell those. Plus none of the pump brands I've seen have interchangeable pump parts, although the motors seem to be more standardized (but I've never seen a motor fail first).
@VanwithTim3 жыл бұрын
@@tsbrownie That's unfortunate about the rubber deterioration but makes sense. A "service kit" of new rubber valves could be sold for $5 while still making a huge profit, but I'm sure the manufacturers make bigger $$$ by selling whole units.
