| RV WATER PUMP -- When
not hooked up to an external supply, fresh water must be pumped from the on-board RV water
tank using an RV water pump. When the power is switched on, the pump works automatically
whenever a faucet is turned on. It's normal for the pump to pulsate. The water pump is
preset to keep a more-or-less constant water pressure. When the pump senses a drop in
pressure, because you're using water, it runs long enough to restore the pressure and then
shuts off. Depending on the demand for water that pressure can be restored rapidly causing
the pulsing. You can install a device called an accumulator tank that will minimize the
pulsating. Also new model RV water pumps are available that claim to eliminate the
pulsation and noise.If your motorhome, fifth wheel or travel trailer water pump is
excessively noisy check to see how it's mounted. The pump's mounting screws should go
through rubber grommets and the screws should NOT be tightened down on the mounting
grommets thus allowing the pump to 'float' on it's mounting. This floating helps insulate
the vibration of the water pump from the RV's frame making operate more quietly. It's a
good idea to switch off the pump when not in use... especially when leaving the RV
unattended but it is OK to leave it on if you want. RV Parts, Hardware Suppliers has many parts, hardware, shurflo rv water
