[Jane & Ken]

For a couple of extra $$$ you could upgrade and get rid of the Jabsco.  Ken

When was the last time you put a maintenance kit into the pump? Could be that one of the two little one way valves has some debris caught between it and the valve seat, or the valves and springs are worn out.
Kit is about 80bucks and not too difficult to do.

I have opened the head intake in the aft berth closet and I switch the head toggle to the left so that water will fill the toilet bowl, but I'm getting no water. The manual pump seems to function (it goes up and down without too much effort), but I'm getting no water through the system. Even if I unscrew the holding talk to relieve air pressure.
