[C320-list] Troubleshooting Waterpump

[David J Cardoza]

If you have the little dome filter/screen attached to the pump on the
water in side clean it.  Tank sediment can break loose and clog the
port.  When this happened to me the pump ran for a long time after the
faucet was shut off and flow on the cold side was low.  The hot water
side still had pressure due to the fact that the hw tank acts like a
well pump expansion tank while the cold side is plumbed straight from
the pump.  I actually had purchased a replacement pump when in the
course of removing the old one I found the real issue and returned the
other pump.

While washing dishes in the galley sink, the water pump didn't shut off
after the faucets were shut off.  There is plenty of water in both
tanks, so that's not the problem.  We just bought this boat, and I
thought it best to check in with this group before I do anything.  Any
ideas?
