Hi, I know all of you C&C owners are on the edge of your seats wondering how 
the continuing saga of the Terry Johnson ‘delayed start water pump issue’ was 
going to be resolved. At last, with the generous and knowledgeable help of 
Frank Noragon, we have found the problem to be in the faucet itself! I 
purchased new faucets from Home Depot around the time I replaced my water pump. 
The new faucet has a backflow restrictor in the form of a spring loaded ball 
that requires about 40 to 50 pounds pressure to open. This was found by taking 
the faucet apart and looking at how it was constructed.

The faucet was identified as the problem by disconnecting the output side of 
the pump, insuring it ran correctly when turned off and on many times, and then 
connecting the pump directly to the cold water intake of the faucet. The pump 
then did not operate in a timely manner, it had a delayed start of 10 to 60 
seconds. I am purchasing a new faucet as I was not able to get the old one to 
operate correctly once the spring was removed.

I would like to thank Frank for his help in troubleshooting the problem. Frank 
also taught me a new trick on how to remove a water pump hose from a barbed 
connector. Previously, I had been cutting the hose to remove the connectors. 
Frank brought along a heat gun and we would heat the hose at the barbed end of 
the fitting for about 60 to 90 seconds. After the hose was heated, it would 
easily pull free from the barbed connector.
What a wonderful bunch of guys we have on the C&C site.
Thanks again Frank
...Terry Johnson

Rich, I received several potential issues that I need to check out. Air in the 
lines, accumulator issues, possible wiring. I will look into all of them, and 
if all else fails, I will call Jabsco. I may call Jabsco first.

Is it possible that the water is leaking back to the tank, so it has to fill 
the lines again, possibly even re-priming the pump?

I had that problem on a Swan I used to deliver; you turn on the faucet then 
wait for the water. ..drove me up the wall, but never did figure out what was 
the problem. Maybe a good idea to call Jabsco and talk to a tech, they must 
have had that problem before. When you find out, please share with us.

Terry,

 

Is the problem that the motor does not come on or that it comes on but no water 
comes out?

  There are a number of versions of this pump including some automatic. What is 
the precise model number, please!

  Hello, I have just installed a new fresh water pump. The new pump does not 
come on right way as it is supposed to, instead it takes 15 to 45 seconds for 
it to start. I thought it was a faulty pressure switch so I took the first new 
pump back and installed a second new pump. The same problem occurs.

   

  Any suggestions as to what the problem may be??
