[C320-list] Head Shower Pump

[Joe Barrett]

The Anti Siphon loop on hull #689 is in the medicine cabinet in the head.
However I'm having the same problem as you are. I am getting some suction
but not very much. My thru hull valve is a 3 way valve as it also functions
as water in for the toilet also. To the port it is closed. In the middle
both operate. To starboard only the pump works, no water to the toilet. I
called Jabsco yesterday and the Tech said there are only two possible causes
(My screen is clean). I need two new check valves at the top of the pump or
they are somehow clogged. I ordered the check valves as they were cheap
enough, we'll see what happens. I also do know that is has to be an airtight
system as it is self priming. I tried to operate without an O Ring on the
strainer and it doesn't work, The O ring must be there and the strainer
tight.

Hi,
Was at Isle of Wight today and tried to empty the shower sump and fridge
sump.

Pump motor runs, filter is clean, I have blown the intake hose and it is
clean.
And I have moved the two way valve in each direction.

I have poured water into both sumps and just wanted to clear any residual
antifreeze that may be in the system.

But pump does not suck out either of the sumps.

Is there something that has to be done to the anti-siphon loop for the pump?

If so where is it and how do you reach it and then what do you do????
