Water Issue?

[Curt Sprenger]

John,

The sporlan is easy to clean. Get a small rag to push into the opening to stop water flow. After removing the top of the valve you inset that rag.

Carefully clean the diaphram and parts. I find it's usually the diaphram that has the crud on it. Remove the rag, and re-assemble the valve the same way as it cam apart. Should take all of 15 minutes.


I find the Water Pump should be OFF when filling the water tank.

I am trying to leave on a trip and I was filling the bus with water as

normal but when I flip the fill switch to off it doesn't close it just

continues to fill the water tank. Unfortunantly now my water pump will

not prime nor can I use the city water hookup since it just fills and

overflows the water tank. I assume it is the Sporlan valve maybe that

is stuck any help on how to fix, repair etc this valve or any tricks

to get it to close so I can go on my trip and then repair when I get back?

Appreciate any help!
