Just really a case of starting at the battery and working your way towards the pump. It could be any number of things. Pump switch faulty, pressure switch, blown fuse, broken or corroded connection.

unplug your ehu, that will confuse matters. disconnect your battery from the caravan and get a meter to check the voltage of the battery anything lower than 12.4v is flat. then connect it back up and check again, if it reads 13.7 or higher then your charger is working. this will emilinate the battery/charger being the problem

whoa hang on a mo! have you done the switch for the water pump on your control board (speaking in general as that is where it is on most caravans) new pumps arent cheap, can you borrow one to check first

turning orange suggests it may be your water heater, normally tho they are at floor level and they are never marked as being for a water, (mans logic clearly) looks like what you would have for your house immersion switch

maybe put a picture of your control panel on here as not many of us have a geist or even been inside one

ok first pic (with your finger on it) i think that tap switch is to turn your water pump on, just guessing tho.

you say you have power in there, but have you got power from your leisure battery and if so what voltage is it showing? (when not connected to ehu)

Not at all familiar with that make of caravan, but a light glowing orange rather than green suggests to me that something is wrong, possibly low voltage. That is only a guess though, as orange could be normal for that make.

ok your problem seems to be stemming from the lack of a leisure battery, until you get one connect up a car battery which will do the same job for a short while, and see if that solves your problem

what do you mean your battery looked corroded? all the ones i have ever seen no matter what there age all looked the same
