VacuFlush trips Breaker
- Posted by: Mikwallace » October 22nd, 2022, 11:27 pm
- Forum: AC/Heat, Plumbing & Sanitation
Wow! What a weekend. We spent the night on the Hook Friday night, temps down to about 43* with gentle breeze, makes for a great night of sleeping with waves tapping on the boat. FWIW, didn’t run genny while sleeping, but stayed nice and cozy!
However; it wasn’t without some issues.
- aft hvac kept giving an E01 error; May have fixed that after returning to the Marina. See separate thread; “E01 error code on Salon hvac”.
- after retrieving the anchor I found the pressure arm strap in pieces. Got 2 ordered. Understand that plastic strap breaking is common.
- And this thread’s topic- the forward VacuFlush trips the breaker when trying to pump the vacuum.
If there’s zero vacuum, the pump makes about 4 strokes then trips the breaker. If I quickly reset breaker, it makes about 1 stroke and trips again. I checked the wiring at the pump motor and pressure switch. I manually open/closed the pressure switch via the spring at the pressure switch and it functions. Upon returning to the marina I had the tank pumped and have an Empty light on the panel.
I don’t have a thorough understanding of the complete VacuFlush system, but doesn’t look complicated. Maybe you guys could give me a Primer??
But, I will add, our 4yo grand daughter spent the night with us and thoroughly enjoyed it. This was her bathroom, ahh, head. Can’t say for sure, but, could too much TP in the toilet prevent the vacuum pump from cycling and cause it to trip the breaker? If so, what do I do now??
Another Head issue I have is with the women folk. They don’t seem to understand, “Hold the flush pedal DOWN for 3 seconds”!
I have found a new pump motor online, but WOW, they’re really proud of them. The motor in question is OEM equipment as it has its 1998 sticker still attached. Just don’t want to throw parts at it if it’s not needed!!
Any comments appreciated!!
