Jabsco Accumulator leaking

[Cheeky Girl]

Hi
I have any annoying dripping leak coming from the top of the accumulator. Does this mean the diaphragm has failed or could it be something else ?

If it has a car tyre valve in the top it could that the core needs replacing. If it doesn't have the tyre valve then it doesn't have a diaphragm which would mean the body is cracked. Hard to say without knowing the accumulator type.

Hi
It does have a tyre valve at the top so guessing its the diaphragm

If that is where it is leaking, its duff. But does it work as an accumulator? In other words does the pump run on for a short while after you close the tap? If its duff, it will be full of rusty water and it will not have been working for quite some time.
