Electrical Water pump issue

[Frank]

Hey all. Installed a shurflo water pump today so we can avoid having to use the hand pump in our 16.49 expanda. It's working but seems to be stuttering and faaarting at the tap. I ran it for a few minutes to see if it would clear but no luck. I think it might be an air leak somewhere. Has anyone any info that could assist.

Definetly air, check your inlet lines starting from your tank an see if any air is bubbling away then work your way through to the pump

Gday Frank

I had an issue with air entering the system via the Hand Pump. I inserted a one way device into the water line to the hand pump and my issues went. I suppose I could have dismantled the hand pump and fixed the fitting, but as we didn't use it I thought the problem would resurface at a later date.
Hopes this helps.

If you only had a hand pump originally you would probably need a non return valve on your mains connection, once you have a pump on line you have a pressurized system so need to isolate all possible bleed points, does that make sense ? On my, lost count bourbon by now.
