[C320-list] Strange water problem this weekend

[Jon Vez]

Chris,

I mentioned this on another post-reply this weekend--try removing the
aerator on the faucet. The screen tends to get gunked up. On year when I was
commissioning the water system this happened to me. I was ready to buy a new
pump until I tried this and it worked! Hopefully it's something as simple as
this...good luck and let us know what you find...

Regards,

Ok,
 
So I was on the boat this weekend and the water system was giving me
problems.
The symptoms were this.
Water pump would never turn on/cycle when water was off....Hence no leak..I
would think.
Turn water on and pump would run, water would come out at full strength for
about 1-2 seconds then slow down to a tiny stream.
Turn water off and pump would run maybe 1 more second and system would
pressurize.  Turn water on and same behavior as just explained.

 

I tried switching tanks, both tanks are full, with no change in behavior.
To further add to the mystery the last time I was at the boat the water
system was behaving fine.

Anyone have any ideas or similar experiences?

 

Thanks,

 

Chris
