We had all the confidence in the world you could take it apart Todd, but we are extremely relieved and happy you put it back together and that it works. LOL Good Job.
We had the same issue with the check valve, as a added level of security we installed an in line check valve. If it fails when on city water it will back fill the fresh water tank to the point of overflowing.
Thank you Todd! This was one of your best fix it videos to date. Enjoyed the way you put this video together very much. Props brother! You nailed it. Both format and the fix. (imho) Cheers!
In my experience with similar boat water pumps, if that little filter with the clear plastic cover is not kept clean, it will reduce water flow and cause cycling. Glad you got it resolved.
That's cool that it just took cleaning out some gunk, I've had to deal with mineral deposits meesing with a number of valves at our house. Don't you have a filter upstream of the pump, I thought that would've prevented it.
Our water pump (same model you have) went out while moochdocking in Tennessee but ours was leaking through the pressure switch. Went to Home Depot and got a cap for the waterline since we were connected to city water and capped it off for the remainder of our trip then replaced it once we got home.
We actually have a video on tearing down the pump, had a similar issues last fall. It’s crazy, your rig is twice the size of ours, yet you have the same water pump. Thanks for sharing this though, definitely something that will help other out!
My trouble shooting was easy. I was taking a shower when the flow went to a trickle but the pump was still running. Out of the shower i could hear water spraying under the couch :( The diaphragm was blown out on the bottom of the pump. I had seen a recommended pump and added it to my wish list. Now was time to move it to my cart
Like in all new RV's they builders leave junk behind every panel, sawdust, screws, wire Ect. They also leave plastic in the tanks from drilling out the holes and making connections. The plastic chunks will plug the filter on the the pump and I'm sure get into the diaphragm. The filter is just a screen.
Looking for new 2aterpump to replace the Surflo 2088-422-144, from 80s. How do i know it will fit, work etc .New ones kinda pricey. If it wasn't from the 80, would repair. Any advice would appreciate Newbie learning to fast thanks
It looks like you are re3placing your slide ski, I just replaced all 4 on my 2 big slides with stainless steel skis so hopefully I will never have to mess with them again.

Love your "Tech Tips with Todd"! Always informative!!!

Lol 😂 that is a very accurate assessment of Todd!!
This summer has been rough on rvs! Glad its up and running again!
3:34 "Hey is that Todd from Switch It Up? Betty get over here!"
The fun never stops . Glad your handy!!
Good job rebuilding and teaching us! Carry extras should be an RVers mantra! Glad you were able to fix it!

Thanks for the tips. Nice to know some fixes can be simple.
Glad you were able to fix it. 🎉🎉🎉

Great job, Tech Todd! Yes, always have a spare water pump for this exact issue. Great JOB!!
Nice video Todd! Good job on the troubleshooting! We wanted to attend your Michigan Huddle, but things aren't working out for us to go. Safe travels!

Great job, Todd! Thanks!
Yup, I’ll come back to this vid again in the future when pump dies. Noticed i said ‘when’ 😂. Thx tippy Todd🍻
Thanks! Great problem solving video.
Great tech tip. The best was the supervisors coming to check on their staff. 😂
You guys are the best.

I'm finding myself repeating more than I care for. Let's go RVing it will be fun, they say..
Thank you exactly what I needed . I have the same problem .
Thank-you.. that confirmed my pump issue.
Great Job, thank you for sharing your fix, of course it is helpful to learn to do tricks
Im glad you got it working again
Great tip 👍
Todd tech tip Thursday. Thanks for sharing
Like that Tech time with Todd
I always carry a new pump because I've been where you are before, and they're relatively cheap.
Good to know. Gonna have Scott order a spare - just in case.
My trouble shooting was easy.
I was taking a shower when the flow went to a trickle but the pump was still running. Out of the shower i could hear water spraying under the couch :(
The diaphragm was blown out on the bottom of the pump.

Tks Todd
Thanks so much for this! Very useful!
Great Video - Why do you have a jack supporting your slide? Is that precautionary? Love you guys!!!
Thanks for the tech tip!

Great tips
First sign of actual water pump at 2:17
cfyt...Water pumps are fun...
Todd, where do you get/order your spare parts like the extra water pump or your leaf springs?
While on the road we have just found some great little gems - a trailer supply store in Utah is where we picked up the leaf springs -
Good info. Thank you.
Fun times always
Was there water in your fresh tank when you pulled off the pump? My concern is water pouring everywhere from fresh water tank when I do this.
Hi Todd. What’s with the 2 X 4’s and the floor Jack behind you?
Oh yes--another issue it’s been issue after issue. I’ll cover that one too!
Easy peasy.
Thanks!

Now we see why you didn’t mind crawling into the Ape Cave. Lol
This is the time to say ... Honey I'm the man !😂
That was me yesterday when I figured out how to fix the door lock

Before this (great) video, I happened upon "Why Wait" and his video named "RV WATER PUMP TROUBLESHOOTING". Seems to be a common issue.
Water pump issues are the worst and sadly one of the most common RV problems!
Check valve probably had some debris in it.
Those folks were sneaking up on you 😮 All of you RUclipsrs and your Grand Designs. Always repairing something 😢
we carry a spare and we are not even full timers (yet)!
C4 Todd and Sheila
Sounds like to me you had trash at the check valve and it wouldn't close all the way
C4YT ❤
C4YT 👋
RV fulltime they said, it will be fun,,,, BAHAHAHAHA
That's what they say!!! I need to hunt "they" down 🤣
