We are going away TODAY (in about 2 hours!) and have just realised we have a fault with our water pump/system. Its a Crystal Water sytem (according to the manual).
We ran some sterilising fluid through the van yesterday, all worked fine. However, when we turned the tap off, the pump continues to "buzz". It doesn't draw any water, but surely thats not right? The only way we could turn it off was to disconnect the mains.
Any ideas what might be wrong with it?
Thanks, sarah x

Hi there,Had the water barrel become empty?Thata the only time the pump will keep running is if it carnt draw anymore water as the pumps work on water pressure buiding up in the system before they stop pumping.Also check the drain plug is in properly and that other taps in the van arnt leaking.Thats all i can think of ,hope you have a nice holiday
