Aqua Hot Pump problem
« on: July 25, 2013, 10:54:53 PM »
I have a 1997 Marquis that I noticed some anti-freeze on the floor. After scaring myself to death that it may be the tank, I determined with the help of a worker at the RV park that it was a pump that supplies the heat to the heat exchangers.  It looks to be coming from the area between the brass pump and the motor.  After quite a search on the internet, and a local pump supplier that it is an O ring that is needed.  Of course Aqua Hot only will sell the pump at over $800.  The local distributor didn't have any and couldn't get me one unless I was willing to get $50.00 worth and the cost each was $2.00 plus he had to order them which would take a couple of weeks.  Does anyone hear know where I can get just one?  Two? Three?
The local Aqua Hot service man in Albuquerque is in Alaska and obviously unable to help.
Thanks

  Any good auto supply store will have an o ring assortment behind the counter. I would be real surprised if you could not match it up.

Orman:  Attached are a couple of photos that you requested.  Underneath the middle pump there is a collection of built up anti freeze.  After looking at the photos I see there is a build up on the other pumps also.
I have a couple more photos but unable to attach them.  If you want more can I email them to you?

Clean off the antifreeze, try to gently tighten the screws .
If that doesn't work, you can try replacing the gskt (O) ring,
The top photo, I believe the valve can be turned off, try clamping the rubber lines using  the (flat hose clamps)
It is going to be messy!
