Even when there’s a NRV attached to a subersible pump’s outlet, that NRV will be ‘downstream' of the pump itself and, when the water system is drained down, the fresh-water tank is empty and thereand there might be residual water trapped ‘downstream’ of the NRV, the submersible pump should still self-drain.

The only affect on the pump is to make it run slightly longer after the taps are closed whilst it builds up the pressure in both cold and hot systems, and delay the turn on of the pump when a tap is oped as the water is pushed out by the expanding air caps.

But I took particular care to drain the system of water using a Floe draindown attachment and also driving the vehicle around with the drain valves open for a while to release any dregs of fluid.

Have saved a copy of that exploded view for future reference. Suspect this might not be the last issue I have with the pressure switch.

This was to allow the water to expand when it was heated. The consequence of ths compressed air cap was that the hot water system attained a higher pressure than the cold water, and when a mixer-tap was opened ( for example in the shower) the pressure in the hot tank would push hot water out before the pressure switch on the cold would turn on. This gave alternate surges of hot and warm water rather than a steady temperature. For the latest information and advice on COVID-19, please refer to the latest updates by the UK Government.

The solution is to provide a similar air cap for the cold water. This would act in a similar way to the hot, and smoothed or damps out the surges. Consequently I am now having to switch the pump off and on at the main control panel to avoid constant noise from the pump and wearing out the pump / switch.
