Just setting everything up ready for our first weekend away in the caravan. I have noticed that the water from the taps are only a trickle and seem to have low water pressure compared to previous use.

The pump is working and the micro switches seem to be ok, just low water pressure. I am using a 12v Crystal Maxi Pump.

Any ideas on what could be the problem? Do I need a new pump?

Thanks in advance.

That sometimes happens to us when we have air in the pipes.

Thanks for the reply, I have thought of that and opened all taps and removed all the air. Each tap has a steady flow of water just not very powerful.
