Why is my water pump running slow?
Most common cause: Slow water leak such as a running toile. Leaky check valve or foot valve in the well piping system causing loss of prime in pump & well piping. Debris-clogged pressure sensor port on the pressure switch or its mounting / sensor tubing can cause delayed sensing of a drop or rise in water pressure.

After that, check the water lines that go into the tank and lead up to the RV. Then you need to figure out if there is any water flowing into the water pump. To do this, you’ll loosen the line to the pump. If you find water inside the line, this means that water is going into the water pump. Simply reconnect the water line.
How can I tell if my fresh water pump is failing?
If water comes gushing out of the hose when you flip on the breaker for the water pump, you know that you’ve got a problem in the fixture. This is actually quite rare. Water fixtures almost never fail “closed,” rather they usually leak badly before completely failing—so it’s unlikely you’ll run into this scenario.

Whale photo. Remove the fresh water supply hose from the hand pump to see if water is flowing from it. If water flow is not present you can try moving the hose end to a lower point in the boat or simply try sucking on it like a straw. If there’s good water flow, then your hand pump likely needs a rebuild.
