Sporlan valve? - Kurt Achenbach - 04-17-2005 00:47
Hello,
Now that the ice is finally gone from my driveway, I could get the
coach to the house.
Still having problem with the water system.
-Pump keeps running without building pressure to shut off, with Fill
switch in either position.
-Also water fills tank with Fill switch off.
Had Sporlan valve apart, cleaned membrane etc. Found four parts inside.
A small spring attached to a plunger, and a stainless steel soucer
pressing on the membrane in the lower part of the valve. Seams the
plunger does not have enough extension or force onto the soucer and
membrane to seal the water flow in the lower portion of the valve.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

It sounds like a classic Sporlan valve failure, probably time to buy
the rebuild kit.
