Getting Lucky… This Time
Whew! Lucked out on that one! After I looked over the manual and looked for dreaded water leaks under and inside the trailer, the water pump suddenly started working normally and holding pressure, indicating “a valve held open by a foreign particle” or in other words, water that I should have run through my filter set when filling the fresh water tank. Didn’t think that’d be necessary. So far, I haven’t seen anyone sporting water filters out here. Including the filters each time I refill will complicate and slow down the process of setting up to take on fresh water, but hey, I’d just as soon deal with a slower fill rate than replace a $150 water pump because of sand in the water screwing up its valves. Learning curve adjusted! As the Grinch says in the movie The Grinch Who Stole Christmas says, “That’s what these tests are for!”
