Need Help With 12 Volt Water System...

[dthollis1961]

James,

You don't have any switches or Sporlan valves on your water system.

Sounds your fill valve, sporland valve, is defective and need of repair. Or, as
I found with the same symptoms after fixing the sporland valve, the hot water
dump valve was defective. Either one can cause the same symptom. That was on
our '81 FC.

My water pump runs and pumps water, but very slowly. I could not find
any leaks or lose connections. It seems like the pump does not prime
it's self for some reason. The pump will run constantly.

I'm digging into it now. Does anyone have any advice to offer?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks to everyone who responded to my cry for help. Your immediate
and insightful responses are greatfully appreciated.

The problem was a pressure relief valve that was mounted to the hot
water heater directly above the hot water drain pipe.

I removed the valve and droped the drain tube, went to a local
hardware store and found a valve with the same specs as the one I
removed. I was told that it is a very common valve. It fit into
the hot water heater and and with an adapter, fitted it to the drain
pipe.

Total cost -- $37.42US, not counting the teflon tape I had in the
toad.

A special thanks to my main man, fire-fighter Dave Hollis.

Well, enough of this for now. It's time to take a nice shower.
