I have a 2001 Damom Daybreak 3130 the sureflow pump now does not work properly. After tuning the pump on it will have a good flow and then goes down to a small steam. I can wait a few minutes turn it back on and the same thing, nice flow for a couple of seconds and then back to a small stream. Any suggestions?

sounds like pump building pressure but not enough supply. ck filter and if ok try put light air pressure in line to fresh water tank to clear possible blockage. also might try temp line from pump intake into a bucket.

I agree, sounds like a possible input filter clog. Does it happen at all sinks and both Hot and Cold water? Also does it happen when hooked up to city water?

Third vote for a clogged filter. It may also be an air leak in the pickup tube but more likely a filter.

Good luck and keep us posted on your findings.

Thanks for the advice. By the way it works fine when hooked up to city water. When not, all faucets act the same hot or cold. Good pressure then hardly any pressure. Ok now for the rookie no mechanical background question. Where is the input filter located? Is it on the tank where the water is being pulled into the pump or would it be on the pump?

Look for the filter on the pipe between the fresh water tank and the pump.

In 2001 Monaco shut off in front of the pump too small they had a call back the shut off was a bathroom under sink valve
after removing it those symptoms went away

Almost surely the pump inlet screen is clogged. It should be right on the pump where the hose from the fresh water tank comes in. Usually looks like an almost flat disc.

Normally you disconnect the input line and pull out the screen. Flush the screen and replace it. Good luck!
