I seem to be having an issue with the solenoid that activates the head fresh water when I hit the button to activate the Jabsco electric head (Toilet) pump, Jabsco Q Flush Toilet Solenoid 37038 Series Valve.
This year and last year, after hitting the switch to activate the fresh water filling the bowl, the pump goes off as requires, but water still enters the toilet bowl. Sometime this happens so frequently the toilet bow fills up and a few times it over flowed. I now have three solenoids that I clean and replace the affected solenoids when this occurs.
When I clean the solenoid, I find very, very small particles of white sand like particles and can’t figure out where they are coming from. I use ‘city water’ to fill my tanks and on the Jabsco water pump there is a screen filter which appears to function ok (it’s not damaged nor plugged).
Looking for how not to be surprised…. I have replaced three solenoids so far this year. Good thing I have three as replacements.
