Spoke with Joan at Shurflo 1-800-762-8094 and she is sending out a switch and upper-housing kit to attempt to remedy the problem. I should receive it at weeks end and will post results afterwards.
I doubt it will be in before we go to Possum Kingdom TX this weekend so in the interim I am going to attempt to 'plug' the outlet end of the pump with something from home depot so that we can have uniterrupted water during the weekend.
BTW - The suggested listing price for the kit 94-231-20 was 23.99
THANKS FOR THE LEAD INFO ON THE CHECK VALVE as I was clueless to its existance...
