David,

Are you saying that the fridge drain pumps out via the shower pump?  As a new owner who has not yet used the shower drain pump, I am now wondering if the liquid from the fridge is just sitting there.

Thanks

Speaking of pumps, has anyone replaced their shower/fridge drain pump? My Jabsco seems to be about gone. I have pulled it out and put the intake end into a bowl of water with barely anything being pumped out, so it's not a priming issue. What have people replaced the factory pump with?

Thanks,
David Prudden

Much quitter only runs when water is running and no water hammer in the system…well worth the investment. Direct replacement other than re aligning the water line hold downs a little. Our pump is under the aft berth, and easy access.
