Fresh waterpump cycling ...

[aerobat]

Hello gents !

My fresh waterpump is cycling for a split of a second every 30-45 mins .

We obviously talk a slight leak somewhere in the freshwater system.

i checked every faucet and clamp i can find , checked water boiler , retightened all clamps and found nowhere even the slightest leak , no faucet is dripping , no water accumulation in the bilge i am aware of . Currently i leave it alone and let it cycle from time to time , but anybody with a creative idea how to isolate such a ( minor ) leak ?

Thanks for any ideas !

Does your system include a pressurised accumulator? If yes, have you checked the pressure?

You say something ... not a separate pressurised acc. But a seaflow pump with integrated accumulator .

never attemped to check pressure . Only thing i can say is the pump/acc housing as well pump outlet piping is BONE dry .

Is there a schraeder valve on the side of the pump/accumulator? If so, then use a bicycle pump with a pressure gauge.
