I have a Abi Award Superstar, when i turn the hot tap on in the bathroom no water will come out till i turn the hot tap in the kichen and when i turn the cold tap on in the kitchen no water comes out until i turn the tap on in the bathroom, does anyone know why this is and how do i fix. Many thanks look forward to your replies.
It sounds like you have an air lock in the pipes. Leave all the taps open whilst the pump pushes the water through then when the spluttering stops and you have a full flow of water they should be okay.
I just open one tap at a time and wait till the water comes through and stops spluttering.I do the cold kitchen first then the bathroom,go back to the hot in the kitchen then the hot in the bathroom.Been doing this for years dont know if its the correct way but it works for me.
Another thought is the micro switch.The one in the kitchen is working and the pump senses this and pumps the water,if you leave it open the water is still being pressured and will be sent to the next opening,that being the bathroom.
This might be a guess but the taps in the bathroom could have a faulty switch.
You will definitely need a two new microswitches one for the hot tap in the bathroom and one for the cold tap in the kitchen. But as a stopgap if you want hot water in the bathroom just turn the hot tap on and then turn the cold tap just enough to start the pump.

For a licence dated 1997 or later you must add together the plated max weight of the caravan and trailer, if the total is 3500 or less you can tow it. You may even tow a caravan with a MAM greater than the cars unladen mass the restriction was removed in 2013
All taps seem to be different in some way eg ive a whale mixer tap and the micro seems to be in built.If you take the taps off you will see wires attached to them and a small unit if its visable,dont know the price sorry.

I have just unscrewed the taps can see the wires which go right up inside the tap, but cant get the tap heads off.
There may be two hols at the bottom of the taps which inside they will be a screw ?
