    Hi Tellie, Merry Christmas. When you have a minute, I would appreciate some advice please.

    We have a Spectra 340z that was working fine (mostly) until 2 days ago. Went to make water and unit couldn't get enough for the clark pump to stroke. Cleaned and cleared seacock and sea strainer. Filters are new. Unit ran and made water for about 3 hours, then you can hear the Vang strain to pull water. The feed pressure would drop from 98 and eventually the clark pump would not stroke.

    Rechecked the sea strainer and restarted the unit. No Change.

    Details from today:
    Changed all filters again, including charcoal.
    0945 95psi on monitor & gauge. 221ppm
    1025 85 on gauge. 95 on Monitor, 210ppm
    1100 88 stroking 94 on gauge. 94 on monitor. 210ppm
    1135 80 stroking 85ish on gauge. 94 on monitor. 227ppm. Vang is growling (low tone) & it is very hot
    1210 70 barely stroking 74 on gauge. 94 on monitor. 264ppm. Shut it down.

    Appreciate any insights - Thanks!
