Noisy pump help please.
« on: February 22, 2010, 11:48:23 am »
Hi, my shurflo pump in the van has started gettig quite noisy like a deep humming (like vibrating on wood but its not)

Is something wearing or worn out, hope its a replaceable part?

Any ideas guys?

Thanks.
Gary.

and will this be ok to do the job if its going to die on me ? ;)

do you have a pre filter before the pump if you do then take this out and give it a good clean, it could just be the pump struggling to get water due to the filter being slightly clogged, if this keeps happening then it is time to give your tank a good clean out.
better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove any doubt
