THETFORD flush pump replacement ......

[wirren]

Hi All,
On our 2007 Sea Otter the flush pump packed up the other day & after a bit of head scratching I found out how to access & replace the pump.
The white handle pulls off.
The control panel is located on two small lugs & is prised upwards to release.
Under this panel is a shallow trough which justs lifts out.
Now it is possible to see into the whole flush tank.
The blue pump just hangs in the bottom of the tank on the end of a hose pipe.
I managed to unclip the white fitting at the seat end, where the flush water is pumped out into the bowl.
Its a tight fit, this shows underneath how it is clipped in place -



It came away with a downward push .......... to refit it I used a 'coat hanger' hook to help pull it back into the 'clipped in' position, not easy.

These are the parts before reassembling -


I cut the power lead & used a 'choc block' connecter to fit the new pump.

The new pump branded COMET was bought from eBay, apparantly made in the same factory as the Thetford one.
It works well.

Hope this is of use if you ever have a problem,
Cheers,
Mark.

with a Brand name like that it will be good.
