[C320-list] Water Pressure Pump

[Warren Updike]

Rick, it is not difficult to open the pump mechanism to see if there is an
obstruction. After one winter I found that one of the three diaphragms had
apparently been damaged by freezing water. Apparently, I failed to get it
all out of the pump.  Fortunately, the PO had a diaphragm rebuild kit
onboard and that did the trick.

I believe it is possible to get parts for most ShurFlo pumps, though with
new pumps in the $100 range, I'm not sure I'd bother fixing an old one.

Anyone know the model number of the water pressure pump?

Mine seems dead.

I checked it during my maintenance last weekend and it will not pump when
the switch is clicked no motor sound and then just jumps the breaker.

I think it needs to be replaced but anything I can check before I have to
would be appreciated.

Thanks
Rick
