Another Flojet issue
My Flojet pump has become intermittent after de-winterizing last March. It will make noise and not pump water consistently. I had run RV antifreeze on the intake side of the pump for Winter so I don't think it froze up. Once I can get it to finally start pumping it seems to work fine until I hookup to shore water. I'll disconnect from shore water and take the TT home and then the pump will make noise, but no water. I'll open a cold water faucet while it's groaning away, and close it, and no water. I even hooked up the antifreeze intake hose to a gallon jug of water that I had elevated over the pump, and had noise with no water pumping. I even siphoned this water jug into the pump, and it would not pump. I re-hooked up everything and walked away, and ordered a new pump. Yesterday, for giggles, I turned on the pump and it worked! I turned the pump off and left the system pressurized over night and turned the pump back on today and it didn't run, but then ran when I turned a faucet on. Tells me I have no leaks on the high pressure side. So now it will probably work until I hook up to shore water again. Yes, there's water in the fresh water tank.
I'll go ahead and replace this pump, when the new one arrives, to see if I can get some consistency.
Any thoughts on what I'm dealing with?
