Hi Alexandre, I replaced the ONAN pump with a new Sherwood one piece cast (beautifully machined) pump, and I still have the same problem.....it seems this is a well known issue with ONAN, there was a

Hello Alan, I used to have the same problem. After 8 months the impeller would lost is blade. So Dec 2014 I cleaned the water pump, see pictures on the link below. And 10 months later, preparing for

I changed the whole pump for a Sherwood one-piece housing and I have used Globe Run Dry impellers on the Onan with very little difference in longevity cf the standard impeller...about 170 to 195 hours

Good morning Jose, Did “Amel” recommended to add a 3rd seal??? Could you please send me picture of the “system with a clamp” that you develop? I was thinking of a similar device. I own my
