Frank,
Thanks for the response. It sounds like the same system my Hatteras friend has and explained to me. So I assume my pressure sensor is faulty or set above shore water pressure. So, I’m back to where I’ve always been; turning off the pump when shore water is connected and turning it off when disconnected.

The internal pump has a pressure switch in it or with it to shut the pump off when the set pressure is reached. Usually the dock pressure exceeds that pressure, so the pump would normally not run when dock water is hooked up. I leave mine turned off when hooked up to the dock. There is a check valve where you hook up the dock water to keep from pumping internal water backwards into the dock system. Originally my old pump had an expansion tank and an external pressure switch. The new pumps don't need expansion tanks and the switch is internal. Hope that helps. frank On Tuesday, January 9, 2018, 7:32:25 PM EST, Doug Thomas <[email protected]> wrote: I have a question concerning the water systems on a 46’ Uniflite. It has to do with switching between internal water tanks and external dock water. I was told by a Hatteras owner that he has a pressure sensor that determines if the boat is hooked up to shore water or not. If so, the fresh water pump does not operate unless the shore water pressure drops excessively. I question whether this is the way the Uniflite works. When I have the pump turned on, even with shore water connected, when I open a faucet, the pump runs. The shore water pressure seems to be fine. So, how does the Uniflite system switch between internal water tanks and external shore water? Doug -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "UnifliteWorld" group.
