It was interesting to me that you kept a pump from 2018. I have replaced these 5 times now at a steady interval of every 2 years. I would re-use the pump normally if possible but the trouble it takes me to get the pump out I just automatically put in a new one, at $40 a pump it is just insurance for me. But you did give me some good ideas. Since my RV was a rental, maybe there is sand in the tank since renters are less carful when filling the tank, and I need to do a better job of trying to flush it out. Excellent video by the way!
My RV dates from 2004..... The pump was seized when I bought the vehicle & the pump date stamp is 43/2003! I freed it off and has been fine, But I laid up for the winter and sure enough....it has seized again...and this time it looks like "curtains".........😪😭 I'm not sure why they don't make the pump easier to simply lift out for when the vehicle is out of use for more than a couple of weeks. (Draining is not enough: The pump will still be damp; it will still seize. Guaranteed.) The discharge tube should be of better quality too...more flexible and resilient to stiffening. The price of a new pump is not the issue for me: It's the availability here in South America. Such items are a complete rip-off...assuming you can locate them!
The design of these toilets is faulty. The pump HAS to be replaced about every 2 years since it is under water. And the hole to get to the pump is made for VERY small hands. I cannot follow the instructions at all due to the size of my hands. This is always a very frustrating task for me to perform, and in 11 years, I have had to do this 5 times now. I am just about out of the white wire and will have to replace that soon too.
From my experience if you buy an "non genuine" pump the cable length is much longer and the join can be made wllk above the water line, in fact immediately i=under the flap, lever area
Thank you, you're the only one I found that was able to show me what I needed
Glad it was helpful

I like your idea of the connection being OUT of the water. My guess is that is the main weak point. But just a guess.

You have my sympathies James....I don't have particularly large hands and I really struggle to get that pump up out of that access.
