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.

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??
