Hey Folks

anyone have any trouble with their shower water pump. I have a whale 220 slurper for the shower. it seems to be pushing and pulling water and not pumping out unless I mess with it. when I put my finger by the intake, it sucks then pushes doing nothing with the water.

Any ideas?

Hi Dave

Thanks for the advice. I'll do exactly that.

If the water is moving back and forth with the diaphragm movement, the check valve is stuck open. This may not  require a new diaphragm if the check valve just needs to be freed. The link below is from Whale on the rebuild, hope it helps.

That is exactly what it is doing and it makes perfect cense.

thanks Fred

I just saw the youtube clip of the operation. there are two check valves and im sure they are stuck with my wifes hair. LOL

thanks Fred

My pump has the same issue when there is soapy water in the drain.  We cure that by using manual override switch to remove the soapy water. We also get back flow because the check valve does not close properly. We solved this problem by removing the check valve from the pump and letting it soak overnight in vinegar. This removes the crus and film and seems to make the check flo flaps close totally.

Also purchased a rebuild kit form West Marine with an extra check valves.
