Ideally, an onboard water tank should also be drained down before driving. Each litre of water in the tank weighs 1kg, so a full 40-litre tank is the equivalent of a child passenger!

Irregular pump action can also be caused by a surge or fall in a leisure battery’s voltage level. Some diaphragm pumps incorporate a pressure switch alongside an adjustable sensitivity control that can be turned with a screwdriver. Nothing particularly onerous. I tend to turn both pump and tap off (if connected) whilst away from the van these days. It takes but seconds ands guarantees I will not return to a water based disaster. Our collections by our couriers are happening as usual. As it stands, delivery times are not being affected too much. Please be aware though that Royal Mail and other couriers are sometimes prioritising essential items so please bear with us if your delivery takes slightly longer than expected. The flow of hot and cold water around the van should then be constant and smooth. Cleaning the tank A high-quality handover will include a thorough test of the stare systems Obviously, as with any filter, from time to time, they are going to need attention and maintenance.Below I’ll discuss problems that are applicable to both styles of the water pump. However, I’ll also discuss issues that are pump-type-specific. However, what I do wonder is, does the flexible pipe used on the Whale submersible pump maintain the same degree of flexibility over time? If a floatation valve failed all that would happen is the water barrel would overflow. If its an external tank then there would be no risk the the caravan. If the tank were internal, then yes there would be a flooding risk. But as the floatation valves are basically a domestic float valve, just consider how we rarely give them a second thought in our domestic water tanks and cisterns. They are basically very reliable, and there is no reason why the versions used in caravans would be any less so. If you have reviewed all of the information above and tried the various solutions to no avail, your service centre is going to have to help you to get the tap working again. Furthermore, depending on how much debris and particles there are in the base of your Aquaroll, the filter may require more frequent cleaning.

Hence the pipe exits the caravan and has to loop up and then down to get into the Aquaroll. This then creates a kink in the pipe. Hence the pump cannot pull water through the pipe.This will increase your fuel consumption and might affect handling, especially if it is located towards the rear of the caravan, where the ‘pendulum effect’ is most potent.
