[A/S] Re: When it rains...it pours, of course



Warren,

Are you sure the water running out the back was not just from the 
water you talked about spraying from underneath the bathroom. If you 
drained the fresh tank I can't think of anyway it could have cracked 
from freezing. Now the pump having air/water in it, could be anything 
from a bad prime, to a crack in the pipe going from the fresh tank to 
the pump causing it to suck air/water. I would fix the leak in the 
bath area and then go from there. After fixing the bath leak, re-
test. Depending on what happens, next try the city hookup, etc... Use 
trouble shooting 101. Plus, most systems I've seen, the water is 
pulled off the bottom of the tank, not the top. If the tank was 
cracked, it would start to leak before turning on the pump. What year 
is the rig? 60's, 70's 80's??
