water pump

Could you provide a little more background on your trailer and pump type?

"Controller" is confusing me, also. The water pump is 'controlled' by a switch in the control panel and the pump is an auto-demand type: when it is on and primed (water supply is on, water in tank) then it should come on anytime the pressure in the entire system drops--opening a faucet causes the pump to start--closing will cause the pressure to build and shut the pump off. Common problem, outside of a leak on the pressure side, is an air leak on the suction side. If you recently had the pump serviced/replaced, the the first place I would check is the suction side of the pump for all connections being air-tight and the filter bowl clean.

I think the most recent type of pump supplied is the ShruFlo 5.7 model, and they usually operate well.
