[C320-list] Shower Sump

[Paul Rickman]

Jason,

The shower sump and the ice box/refrigerator share the y-valve under the head 
sink.
Without changing anything, pour some water in the ice box drain and then turn on
the pump. The water should flow out of the ice box. If it does, then flip the 
y-valve
and turn on the pump again. I bet the shower sump goes down. But make certain
the thru hull is open, otherwise you may blow the hose off one or the other.

Let us know how you solve your issue.

Hello all.  

I'm having some issues with my shower pump not draining on my new to me 2001 
320. I have opened the dual head shower sump through hull and the pump seems to 
run when I flip the switch in the head, but the water never goes down.  There is 
a y valve that appears to be set correctly but I'm not sure what's on the other 
side of that valve.  


One thing that I notice is that there is a strainer before the pump and after 
the sump.  I removed the bowl expecting there to be some liquid but it was 
totally dry. 


I have to be missing something obvious. 

Jason
