Water System Issue
Pump runs & runs. It slowly builds up pressure. Get some water out all faucets but won t build pressure & shut off. Flow is good for 4 seconds then runs out of water. I noticed there is no pressure in the accumulator. Is this my problem?
This is on our newly purchased 06 28 ss.

When I first got my 400ss it did pretty much the same thing. Previous owner hadn't used the boat much at all for a couple seasons before I got it. Mine has a filter screen on the inlet (suction) side of the pump. When I first used the boat that screen got plugged up with goop (it was algea or something) coming out of the water tank and blocked water flow into the pump. Pump kept sucking but little to no pressure being created in the system so the pump wouldnt shut off.

Plugged the shore power in and with the Charger running the pump ran twice as fast and the problem is solved. So the batterys must have been discharged a little bit. I think I need to replace One battery

Just just another follow-up. I found the pancake inlet filter on the pump screen packed with slime. Took it apart and cleaned it and now there is twice as much flow. It works very well. My only question is how frequent should the pump charge up to pressure when not using water? I want to say mine charges every three quarters of an hour and will run for 10 seconds.
