Shore Water
Curt,
Mine has done that since I got it. I have never figured it out. I rebuilt the Sporlan valve, got rid of the accumlator tank, put in a new Sureflo high volume water pump, cleaned the screens at the faucets, replaced the in-line filter, and still the same result...no pressure when hooked up to shore water. I just fill the tank, and use the pump. With the new pump. it's nice with the high flow. Let me know what you found out if you get it fixed.

While at the Buellton rally is past weekend, I hooked up to shore water
and got almost zero water flow. The tank fill switch was in the off position. I don't have the water flow diagram. Suggestions appreciated. To get around the problem, I filled the water tank and used the water pump. -- Curt Sprenger 1987 PT38 8V92, Anaheim Hills, Calif. |

Did you check the screen at the intake?

Kevin,
Do you have the inlet water diagram for your coach? Curt Sprenger 1987 PT38 8V92, Anaheim Hills, Calif. krminyl@... wrote: >Curt, > >Mine has done that since I got it. I have never figured it out.

It would be great if you could send me whatever diagrams, pictures, etc, you
have. After almost 6 yrs, I guess I should get it fixed. Thanks... _krminyl@..._ (mailto:krminyl@...) Kevin McKeown Yorba Linda, CA 1986 38' PT [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |

If the Sporlan valve is not stuck open, I would next check the
inlet/regulator. These are notorious for causing poor flow. The Sureflow inlet regulators, when working properly are only good for a little over 1 gpm. If it is not working you only get a trickle. How long does it take to fill your tank? Does it seem to flow normally (listen and time the fill)? Rich D.

He guys, have any of you thought of the pressure regulator? It is at the city
water bypass in my coach and it was bad. That will definitely restrict water flow.

Rich Ducci and I struggled for a year or more and
finally discovered and resolved the low shore-water pressure problem by removing and replacing the original pressure regulator assembly with a commercial 3/4" brass checkvalve and a 3/4" adjustable pressure regulator (and added some other "frill" stuff). Rich has terrific pictures of the results, which we understand has since been copied and is now marketed as a complete replacement assembly unit by someone. I know he would send copies off-line (as no attachments are permitted to be attached to yahoo-group stuff.) The only problem we found is, if you step up the flow too much to the shower, you outrun the coach ability to produce hot water.
