Potable Water Pump Continuously Running
Pump is likely original Shurflo, so would it be safe to assume this is a pump issue?

Also, after the screen, back your pressure adjustment screw out just a tiny bit until it stops.

Will have to wait till next week, but will try the pressure screw as the screen looked clear to me.
Thanks,

Re: Potable Water Pump Continuously Running
Good pumps are getting more and more expensive and seem to be failing more often and sooner than their older counterparts. There are rebuild kits for most designs if you're willing to spend the time but the rest of the pump will still be old and susceptible to failure in the near future. A good cleaning though can sometimes solve what may seem like hardware failure.

Re: Potable Water Pump Continuously Running
My opinion here is get a replacement pump that fits the water flow spec you need and go with it. Perhaps the cheaper the better considering the quality issues of late.
