Next message: Peter Gelinas: "RE: lv-ab: Jabsco Head"
Some vinegar flushed and let stand might help. I just did a rebuild of all
rubber parts on mine and it now works great. It is possible but not likely
that there could be a problem with a siphon breaker vent, if yours is
installed in the input line. There is a spring included with the rebuild
kit, be sure that you find where it goes, it holds the input valve shut.
Grease the O ring. An annual rebuild is normal, I don't leave port without
a rebuild kit, I have had Raritan, Lavac and now Jabsco. The Lavac was
best, but it probably used too much water for anyone using holding tanks.
