Ok, Got my Anode and Electric element done. Working on getting water in and got water heater going on propane...

1) Looks like I need to change outside water hose... The part were you screw on head is cracked is it easy to get to?

2)... Notice the recirculating toilet is not working when I push the button...What should I be checking?

I assume you have confirmed that the fuses in the converter box are good. There is a fuse inside the raised housing at the back of the toilet - the same housing that holds the push-button switch. Thetford originally installed a 5-amp fuse in this location, but occasionally those fuses blew for no reason. Thetford now recommends that if the fuse blows, you replace it with a 7 1/2 or 8 amp fuse.

well you said lights dim, daaa my bad ,,

If the lights dim when you push the button, that means that the pump motor is drawing current. If the pump doesn't make noise, then something is probably jammed. If this is the case, the first step is to pull the pump motor up and out of the back of the toilet - it is in the black rubber case - and see if it spins when you push the button. BEWARE! At the lower end of the pump motor's shaft is a white plastic (nylon?) cylinder, maybe an inch long. DO NOT LOSE THIS PIECE!

If the motor spins when you pull it out, but does not spin when you replace it, then the impeller of the pump (the part that sits down in the water) is probably jammed.

Let us know what you find. We'll go from there.

This may be a dumb question, but what do you mean when you say "not working"? Do you simply mean that no water swirls around in the bowl? Can you hear the pump running? Did you pour water into the toilet bowl until the gauge says "Charged"?

Hi Bill - Reading fully charged, No noise from the pump.... Is it pretty easy to get to the pump?
