The plumbing did not include a union so the Pex had to be cut out and replaced. From a Newell maintenance point of view, that may not cost much more than working with a union. Also, the screen was mounted backwards, not sure what difference that makes. Motorhomes of Texas was the last one in there. Newell is absolved. The flushing difference with a clean screen is amazing.
Glad you hopefully found your problem!
I just reread the thread and I am not seeing the location of this screen? Can you enlighten us where that screen resides? I would assume it’s either on the input or the output of the pump. Is it also worth adding a union for future maintenance?
Thanks again Jim for your documentation!
