It seems I am destined never to have free flowing running water in my Elddis Broadway 1995 caravan! 

After experiencing dribs and drabs, I took it to a caravan repair place who, after investigating under the floorboards, found that the previous owner had fitted a relay switch for some bizarre reason.  This had meant that I had to intermittently turn on the cold and hot water taps to get water.  After removing this relay switch - result!!  Free flowing water..... for one outing only and then my water pump stopped working.  So I bought a new water pump - a Whale Watermaster High Flow which, for the first two outings, was fantastic.

However, during my week's holiday in Norfolk, it has started spraying more water from the outside socket than it's drawing to the tap - now the tap has completely stopped working and the grass is getting a right good soaking.  My OH has disconnected the cold feed pipe underneath the seating and water comes through the pipe ok (and no outside spraying).  But when connecting back up to the tap it stops and water sprays outside the van.  This is the case when trying both the kitchen and wash room taps

Could there be a blockage?  Something to do with the bizarre previous relay switch removal?  Help - I'm getting really fed up....

sounds like a blockage in the pipe,check the non return valve in the carver 2 water heater it could be stuck on closed.

Carver Cascade 2 water inlet Order no.: CCWI Price: £ 5.95

Not quite the same problem but I did have the filter housing crack that then allowed water to spray over next door's van!!

Changed the housing and had no more probs.

Hi

Just back from Norfolk.  Our water completely stopped working in the end.  Its definitely nothing to do with the filter housing - it sprays from out of the water pump connection.  Doubt its the carver heater valve because it won't work for hot or cold.  I've tried turning both taps on at the same time as I understand that gets rid of air but nothing...  Am going to have to pay to get a mobile repair person to come and sort it out.  Yet another expense!!  This caravan is costing me a fortune.  Oh well, its worth it.

Thanks anyway.
