I'm not sure my water pump is working correctly.
It is a Surflo Diaphram Pump Model 100-210-3.
When I bought the RV, the pump wasn't working at all.. I pulled it out and noticed a safety switch on the front that was busted. I thought it may have busted because the pump was faulty, but on closer inspection it looked like the pump had been stepped on and the switch took most of the impact.
I replaced the switch and re-installed the pump, filled the freshwater tank, and turned on the 'pump' switch. It started, but kept getting slower and slower until it quit.
I assumed that meant it was building up pressure. I turned on sinks and showers, but no water.
I hooked up a hose to the city water connector and got water out of all the water-bound sources.
What am I missing? Is there a switch to go from freshwater tank to city water, and I have it on city water? Or is my pump just busted..?
Thanks
