Hi folks.
4th TT and 4th accumulator/pressure tank install. The issue(s) I am having is that pump takes much longer than I think it should to fill the tank (5 minutes+) and when the toilet is flushed or shower is on, the pump kicks in and runs even with what should be a full pressure tank and does not shut off.
After running the water pump for a few minutes and then switching it off, the tank functions as expected until empty.
I am not getting the pump cycle when tank pressure drops and refills. the pump just runs.
Details:
- 2021 Passport 2500RKWE
- 7gallon pressure tank factory set at 38psi
- No leaks with the tank install
- Tank is tee'd into the cold tap connection of the outside shower conveniently under the kitchen sink.
- Water pump - Flojet 03526144 2.9gpm - in nightstand at front of the trailer
- Pressure tank installed under the kitchen sink at rear of the trailer 20+ft away
- Bathroom is midway between the pump and tank.
Water pump is not very accessible so picture was taken by reaching phone in the nightstand
I don't see any adjustment screws in the pictures but they could be there? Before I start adjusting things I don't understand looking for thoughts on where my issue might be? Three previous installs on other trailers were pretty much plug and play.
My thoughts....
- Water pump is not powerful enough at 2.9gpm given the run?
- Water pump shut of pressure noted on pump is 50psi, is that an issue with the tank at 38psi??
Thx
