I have a new to me but used 234 and when I turn on the fresh water pump, it pops the hoses off. If I fix one hose, it leaks in another. What can I do to make the joints secure?? Mike |

DO you have the flexible or the ridged stuff? On ridged piping, the connetors/fittings have a push/pull ring on the front of them. If they are not pushed in to lock the pipe into it, it will come off or leak. If it is a flexible, there shoud be Ss clamps to hold them in place. The pump ALSO should be about 40 to 45psi, if it is around 60+, that could be the problem. |

It's the rigid type. I have tried pushing them together buy maybe not hard enough? Does this system feed the pump out head too? |

It's fresh water. Will this head be removable since we don't use it. I figure if I take it out than I won't have to winterize it. |

I did not mean to take it out completely, just thought it would be easier not to use it if it was not in there. Thought it would be easier if I could just disconnect it and put it in the garage. We boat at a small lake and have to go 45 miles for dump station....any more suggestions with my water line on how to make it stay together? |

No not really, ether you have the wrong fittings, bad fittings, or the PSI is too high. |
