Hi to everyone,I have a four berth fiat bessacarr and I drained the water out of the system for the winter as I was told too and last week I filled it back up again and went off for the weekend only to find when I got on site that we never had any water from the taps or shower.We have a cassette toilet and that was flushing ok but thats on its own water feed but has the main water pump got anything to do with the w.c flush.? If so then I can rule the pump out as broke.or could it be a electrical problem ? I have checked the fuses,they are all ok. If it is the pump how would I know. I would be very gratefull for any advice so I can get it sorted for easter. Many thanks in advance

Well does the pump purr away when switched on?? If it does not, is there a switch for it? And is it on??Also if you emptied the water out for the winter have you shut the dump valve of the water heater? This may sound daft, but the water will come out as you filling the system or as soon as you turn the pump on it will empty the tank to the outside somewhere under the vehicle. If all else fails then more investigation is needed, keeps us inormed and hope you solve the mystery.

managed to find the problem. I called in a electrician friend who owns a caravan and he found the pump had packed up so a quick trip to Towsures and he had a new one fitted.I must have switched it on by mistake during the winter when the tank was empty.theres a costly mistake I wont be doing again .
