Fresh water pump.

Approximately 2 years ago I replaced the water pump diaphragm and check valve. Didn’t need to remove the pump to complete the work. Did fine for two years and stopped pumping. Motor ran, buy no water.

This time I replaced the whole unit. Actually easier than replacing the element and not much more expence.

Glad you got it fixed for not a lot more expense and less effort.

Easy fix, that proved to me that it was most cost-effective to replace the pump.

Water Pump Replacement

I'd like to replace my pump (MBS 2401WS) that's installed under the shower pan. It makes odd and loud noises when running the head and kitchen sink but only loud for the toilet. Would an inline pressure tank solve this? I'm OK with a higher capacity pup as well but can't imagine working fixtures in the small space under the shower.

I had to replace my water pump too the other day. I was in the middle of winterizing and the pump would simply not work. Maybe it's because I didn't use it all summer, since I was seasonal camper? Who knows how cheap these FR original parts are.

Anyway, 200$ later when the new pump was installed, I looked very carefully at the other one and never saw anything wrong with it.
I'm keeping it for parts.

I was angrily surprised, since my RV is a 2020.

There's always something wrong and now it's my shower floor that is soft in a couple spots.
