Greetings all, we are spending our first night ( in the dock) on our 396. What a blast so far!! We went use our head and had no pressure. I went through the pressurization process and never came up to pressure. Pump was running constantly. Any tricks?
Cheers
Rob

Re: Fresh water pump.
Are you sure the potable water tank has enough water in it? The water pump is self priming so there is really nothing to be done to get it to pressurise.

Re: Fresh water pump.
Are you getting water from your faucets?
If at the dock with dockside water, turn off your pump, turn on dockside water and see if you get water at the toilet.
Wait, are you talking about a Vacuflush and you mean it's not building a vacuum to flush? And the vacuum pump is running constantly?

Re: Fresh water pump.
I was thinking the same thing.....anyway we need to know what kind of toilet we are talking about here, some electric macerators take water from the freshwater tank thru the freshwater pump system and some have their own pump and some pull water from a thru hull......
Boss6972, if you could post the toilet type and brand name it would be helpful for the guys ?
FWIW.....The above is just my opinion.
