[C320-list] shower / fridge drain

[Dennis Harris]

If one has run the shower sump pump (just briefly) without opening the 
thruhull,  will there likely be permanent damage to the anti-syphon loop 
relief valve?  And if so, how does one get at it to repair/or check it?  Not 
sure, but I believe I may have mistakenly done this recently. Rats...

You definitely need the through hull head inlet open as this is also the
discharge for the shower and fridge sumps. The `Y` valve only controls which
sump you are emptying.

I tried both ways - inlet open and closed. I will check the relief
valve-perhaps I did some damage there.
Thanks,
Bob

Do you have the head inlet open to allow the sump pump to discharge.  If you
don`t something will blow. Probably the relief valve in the anti-syphon loop
behind the head.

The list helped me with a related issue a few years ago involving the shower
/ fridge sump. New issue and I checked the archives so maybe a couple of
questions will get me going.
I am getting power to the pump under the sink ( it vibrates) but am not
getting the shower or fridge to drain. There is a Jabsco "pump guard"
between the Y valve and the pump. Is this the strainer that was mentioned in
the archives? I attempted to remove the front but it wouldn't budge so
didn't want to force  it.
Also there was a suggestion to "clear" the hose to the pump. Would I remove
it to the left of pump? And then what?

Any ideas / suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
