    Hello, I'm on an 80 Lazzara with the compressed air actuated grey water sump. Originally the air solenoid wouldn't actuate, that was fixed with a new float switch. Now the solenoid will actuate momentarily until the switch shuts it off and no water will drain from any shower. If the crews showers are turned on they drain into the master tub. Even with the switches bypassed and solenoid open nothing but a dribble comes out of the through hull every 30 seconds or so. House air pressure is at 60 psi. Any ideas?

    All three Lazzaras I ve run including the 110 I run these days were converted to standard pumps and switches.

    I ve always heard that pneumatic system was a major pita. This may not be what you want to hear but converting to bilge pumps in the sumps is pretty easy

    Okay I hear you and long term probably will go that direction. Just trying to get something going in the interim. The system seems simple until it doesn't work.
    Thanks
