Thinking caps on?

[krminyl@...]

Hi Ralph,

Mine does the same thing, but not quite as frequent....maybe once every
couple of minutes...no leaks either. I took out my accumulator tank when I
replaced to the ShurFlo...nice having that pump, isn't it. Mine has been doing
that for a few yrs now...sometimes when I'm lying in bed and it bugs me with
the every-once-in-a-while "burp", I just turn the pump off at the switch in the
bathroom.

Hi everyone:

Here is a fun one perhaps.

Water pump new, 5.7 gpm 65 psi

Pump cycles after initial pressure up. The cycle is a slight burp about
every 10 to 15 seconds. This normally indicates a water leak.

Kicker, I have been from one end of the pressure side of the piping and no
water leak. Only think I can think of at this point is perhaps crud in the
Sporlan valve allowing a seepage back into the system causing a slight drop
in pressure at the pump. The anti back flow valve seal is good, pulled it
and checked it out.

Ideas?

Check the toilet float. Just a guess.

Hi Ralph,

I think you are right either the Sporlan valve or some air in the line that
keeps tripping it; but my bet would be the Sporlan valve.

Good thought Leroy and thanks, but I shut the water off to the commode
after the same thought came to mind.

Hi Kevin:

I removed the accumulator tank as well. Whew, nice to know I can send the
"boys with the white jacket" back to the rubber room! LOL

I like the pressure the pump puts out in the shower, almost stings. I am
going to pull the Sporlan valve, check it then put the coach back together.
I may try a check valve between the out put of the pump and the pressure
side to see what happens there.

Thanks

Hi Tom:

Good to hear from you, was just going through the photo album last night,
and Charolette asked how you and Peggy were doing.

Thanks

Hello Ralph, just guessing here, but my house system cuts off at 50 psi. I don,t
know anything about rv systems, but could your cut out pressure be set a little
high,(65 psi), causing expansion/contraction within the system. Another
possibility, I put a new pump in several yrs.ago,(house), and the
mfg.recommended installing a anti leak down valve with their pump, (didn't have
one previously). Long story short, had problems until a plumber friend told me
to take that valve out, that it wasn't needed. Immediately solved the problem,
which was like yours, pump recycling. Hope one of these suggestions help, George

Morning George:

Perhaps on the set point, but they come preset and have not looked to see
if there is a set screw to change that. Since you had problems with the
check valve (anti leak down valve) then I won't introduce one into this system.

Thank you

Water heater relief valve? Just a thought, you might not notice that leak.
