Surging house water pumps

[GARY MINKER]

I admit I haven't read all the posts but Camping World and others sell these cute little bladder air charged tanks. Placing several of these in the coach allow for almost a half gallon of water charge before the pump kicks in, allows it to run longer and with a more smooth pressure curve Gary 86pt40 --- On Thu, 11/12/09, gregory O wrote: From: gregory O Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Re: Surging house water pumps To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com Date: Thursday, November 12, 2009, 1:53 AM it sounds like one of the new pumps has a bad backflow valve. remove the lines from one pumpat a time and plug the ends with a bolts and hose clamps. --- In WanderlodgeForum@ yahoogroups. com, "davisgr" wrote: > > What can I do stop my house water pumps from "surging"; runs for a couple of seconds, hesitates a moment, runs for a couple of seconds, etc.? Both pumps are new. One does it worse than the other, depending on the load being put on it. I have tried running all faucets at once for a while. I have tried opening the faucet valve located in the same compartment and draining water from there. > > Rick Davis > 1993 WLSA > Loudon, TN > (at HWH in Iowa tonight-getting colder!) >
