EVERYTHING leaks
Except for the toilet. (thank god)
The kitchen and bathroom sink fixtures, the shower faucet and hose, and the water pump -- all leak under pressure and not just drips. Oh and the city water inlet. I had to fill the tank through the potable water hole with the pump off.
This is the first time I've put water in, bought the 2620 last fall.
How many hours worth of repairs/replacements am I looking at? I'm fairly handy but slow. Probably just gaskets on the fixtures, but the water pump? I can barely see it! Trying to decide whether or not to have the mechanic fix everything or do it myself.
Thanks!
Kathy

First you will have to remove the sink. Then you will be able to see all the water connections. From here you can reconnect the faucet, pressurize the system and see what is leaking.
A lot of us are using Sharkbite connectors. I'm just getting into those myself. I'm sure they will be easy once I figure it out. I will be adding flex lines to my faucet to make installation easier, but I'm having trouble finding the right fittings.

Those of us with long arms have been able to replace the sink water fixture without removing the sink. It wasn't fun. Search the archives.

I've replaced the water pump by taking out the water heater. A bit of a pain but I didn't want to risk having problems removing and reinstalling the sink.

Maybe I'm an oblivious fool, but I'm more confident removing the sink. Hopefully, I'll be able to do the faucet hose mod and taking the sink out will be a snap.
The hot water tank takes up most of the left side space, and the cold water storage uses most of the right side. There's not much room left under my sink.

Were you using a water pressure regulator if hooked up to city water?

No to a regulator. Did not see a mention of that in the manual. Had the hose barely on though.
Called TM this morning and they gave me some tips on accessing everything. Will search the forum on how to remove the various things.
I don't understand why everything leaks. It came from TX and supposedly the lines were drained. Guess I should've checked myself. Trust but verify, huh.

Where does one start troubleshooting when all the fixtures leak? I was going to take it all apart and someone mentioned that it needed to be done step by step to find out where the problem(s) are.

At this point, I would remove the sink (and faucet). Then reattach the faucet without the sink so you can see better. With the faucet shut off, have someone turn the water on slowly and only slightly. Now you can watch for leaks. You may need to bleed air out by opening the faucet while pointing it into the drain.
Also, make sure the winterising drains are shut off.

The connections between pipes ( straight, elbows, tees etc) are pretty tough. If a few of those are leaking, I'd be looking at replumbing all of those. But, I'm going to hazzard a guess that it's all the screw-on connections.
