We have a new Valterra Rocket Hand Pump RP800 in our RV &amp; after 10 minutes or more of pumping nothing, what now?

It took quite a bit of pumping to get water the first time I used it. Make sure the pick up tube is far enough down in the water. Also could be a defective pump. Hopefully this was helpful.

If the backup pump doesn't run for more then 10 seconds ( in think), it will not sound. Hold the float up for more then that time to test

Reprime your pump , check the filterto see if it has any obstructionin ,or you may have a bad pump losing poweror vacuum.

let it run for about 5 min b4 putting the probe in position,make sure coolant is not close to probe and you have a good seal,i used the actron handheld vacuum pump (for brake bleeding)as my vacuum source.verify little check valve is seated properly,if not liquid will be dripping from bottom.if you still have problems take tester to rear tailpipe and let it sniff running exhaust it should turn to yellow immediately

I assume your hydraulic drive pump is running out or low on fluid. Its needs to be checked for blockade.

I'm not aware of a video... There is not a lot to know about the installation but I'd recommend a different brand. Mine sat in a box for a few months because the project lagged then when I installed it the motor would not start on its own. I contacted Flotec and explained the situation with the delay and they flat refused to honor the warrantee... So here I was with a brand new flotec pump and had to buy a replacement pump.

I the pump just time for an emergency. NEEDLESS TO SAY I RETURNED IT THE NEXT DAY TO THE COMPANY. IT WAS OF NO USE. I naught a piece of hose from home depot, clear plastic, and ddid my thing the old fashion way, with my mouth. When you get the hang of it its the best thing.

I put the pump in and used the same locking ring, why would you need a new one? the old one works fine. Getting the ring on and turned into place is tough, I needed to wedge it down with sticks from the bed to be able to turn it. I jacked the bed up on the tank side... there is stuff on U-Tube on how to do that.Lots of luck. the pump has only 2 slide post instead of 3 but once in works fine. My failure was due to it overheating, I let the tank get almost empty (maybe a gallon fuel left) so the pump could not cool down, now I NEVER let the tank get below 1/4 always having liquid in there to cool it down.

Press down on it. It's a pump. If your's doesn't work, it's probably broken.

Buy a smaller electric Black and Decker 30 dollar pump, where you can set the pressure. Turn it on, and let it go. It takes a long time ...at least 30 minutes. The hand pumps take forever.

We ran into to that and it was the bike pump we were using, my husband used the connection for the air compresser and that fixed our issue with it. We have not tried to find a hand pump for it yet since the air compresser is handy for us.

<If the pump is running longer then 90 sec. you may have to change the pressure line ( .25 white plastic line to the pressure switch) to a different location. <i bought a the same pump and it ran to long to build up pressure so I put it closer to the tank.

I just overheated mine the other day, pumping 4 tires from nearly 0 pressure. Let it sit for a few hours, while I did other things, came back and finished the last tire.

I had a plug-in pump, and it was still a pain. I think you need some kind of pump. Are you sure there wasn't one in the box? If not, contact the seller and and ask them to send it.

I wrote to the company that made it. The motor was not working, they sent one right out. Just look up Mama Roo. They can probably replace it. By the way our great grand baby thinks it's the best thing ever.

Take the motor out. There is a slide switch one side that determines how hard it pumps. Make sure this is set to at least medium (in the middle) or up it to high.When I first hot mine, I had to put it on high for the first week or so and then I was able to turn it down a little.

Sounds like it needs to be cleaned. Follow the directions for cleaning that came with the pump, and go through the process twice. Good Luck! I've had the same problem after several years of use at which point the pump just seems to wear out.
