[C320-list] Shower pump

[Tim Fleming]

Thought it was self priming? 
Ok will try the hose prime method... And get an O- ring in sthe very clean  strainer . like i said have blown into it and out the discharge side both seem air tight.stainer and flow when cock open, checked the mini duck valves too in med cabinet.....frustrated but good at getting it in and out under tight sink space lol. Wish they had an electric quick release on the pump wires. May add that too.

Hi

On Hull 925 when I owned it, I had to clean the filter and prime at the beginning of each season by setting the valve to the shower drain position and then pushing a hose onto the shower drain and forcing water up to the pump as it would not self prime.  Once it had been primed at the beginning of the season it seemed to hold the prime till the fall haul out.  If it stopped working I just repeated.

At the risk of stating the obvious, I assume you have the sink head  inlet open, as I believe it is also the shower outlet .  Also the Y valve dictates whether you pump the fridge or shower sump.

Shower/fridge pump not sucking.  Checked all the hoses. Blowing and sucking. Took the Jabasco apart now 4 times and still now success.  Motor works & it's clean so I'm lost.  Think some aquarium pumps would work better than this thing.... Arghhh   I read previous posts but believe its the pump but all the valves and diaphragms check out like new. Suggestions?
