Trouble shooting Fresh Water System
Any guidance as to why our fresh water system isn’t functioning
Pump works, water in the lines spraying out but no flow from tank which is full.
Is there a shut off?
Thanks in advance

Re: Fresh water system
Hi Tom...welcome aboard!
Not that it makes much difference, but which boat do you have?
I don't understand this part: >>Pump works, water in the lines spraying out but no flow from tank which is full.<<
Water is coming out the faucets?
Neither of our Albins have had a water shutoff. We added one in the current boat. One of the best and most simple things we've done.

Re: Fresh water system
Just purchased the Albion 48 Tricabin Motor Yacht. We have a water leak problem in the tank somewhere. All faucets work when we fill. But it slowly drains the tank. Anyone remove and replace the tanks? Have only had the boat for 5 days so we are learning all the systems. Regards. Skip

Re: Fresh water system
Check the pump strainer for a leak. If it got a freeze that breaks and the pump housing can break.

Re: Fresh water system
Follow the supply line from the pump back to the tank. At the age of these boats, there is no telling what previous owners did. I added a three way valve to mine for easy winterization for example
