Water pump system loses power

[Rich W.]

I posted this in the plumbing forum but Im also posting it here as it may be a Newmar specific issue:

This has been going on for a long time but its been low priority - just a bit of an annoyance. But with the big stuff behind me I figured I’d tackle this one. Probably simple to fix.

The problem: The water pump “system” turns itself off randomly but frequently. Sometimes in just a few minutes, sometimes it will go almost all day, but it usually happens several times per day. I have three switches, one in the bathroom, one at the klitchen sink, and one in the wet bay, all with green LED indicator lights.

So it would be obvious when the system is off but the switch over the sink is on the bottom of the upper cabinet facing down, the bathroom switch is under the med cab, and the wet bay switch is in the wet bay. So none of the green LEDs are readily visible and Imnever know the system is off until I need water. This is more a cause for irritation than anything as I can just turn the pump back on at any time, but it would be nice to put an end to this one. And eventually it will probably fail completely leaving me without a functioning water pump.

I figure Im not the first with this problem, so…..Ideas? Some weak relay somewhere? All the switches work. Pump is good. It just turns itself off. No issues when hooked up to a domestic water supply naturally.

Closing - let's stick to one discussion:
