My fresh water pump keeps cycling about every few minutes or so. This has gone from cycling every 30 minutes but today it is cycling every few minutes. I cannot find any leaks in the lines or fixtures, so thinking that either the pump is by passing the pressure internally or the pressure tank has gone bad. There is a rebuild kit available for the pump.
The pump is a Groco PSR 12v and the tank is also a Groco, PST2. The pump looks fairly new but I have only had the boat a few months so not sure. Looked back thru old receipts for 3 years and cannot see where one was bought. Cannot find much on line about trouble shooting these parts except for the pressure tank which says that if any water comes out of the fill valve when depressed, the tank is bad. No water is coming out. Tank charged to 30 PSI. Also, if you experience the water changing temperatures while in the shower, could be the tank. We have had this issue. Cannot find anything on trouble shooting the pump.
Any ideas would be appreciated. I am thinking about replacing the tank and ordering the pump repair kit as a back up.
