When the trailer was newer, whenever I turned on the water the pump made a nice humming sound, now it makes a "struggling sound"??? Also, when I used to turn off the water the pump would stop almost immediately, now it continues with the struggling sound for some time, sometimes long enough that I turn the pump off at the panel. I have checked the filter, and did not find any debris. Any ideas? ------------- RPodWeGo RPod 177 04 v8 Toyota 4Runner |

Could it be drawing air? When the water is coming out of the faucets is it nice and solid or full of air bubbles?

Yup, I would check the valve right at the water pump, the one used to draw in antifreeze when winterizing. It could be slightly open, allowing air into the system. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

Good ideas guys. I added a valve for winterizing last fall, I'll check though I think you are onto something. ------------- RPodWeGo RPod 177 04 v8 Toyota 4Runner |
