Hi All,

This is my first post but I have been hooked to the site for some time now. We got our first caravan last September, a 1988 swift challenger in brilliant condition. Used it 5-6 times last year and am now getting it ready for this year. Been in it this morning, hooked the electric up to garage, filled aqua roll to test all taps after the winter. All were working fine, water heater filling and getting hot with no leaks but the problem is the pump is running constantly. I assumed a tap must have been left open slighlty but all are definatley shut. Now, I have read elsewhere that if the battery is flat that cold be the cause and mine is flat. Do you think that could be the problem? or worse still any ideas on anything else??

Thank you ever so much

 possible microswitch on one of the taps is faulty/worn.

 this would cause pump to run.

Thank you for your reply, I have since read about the microswitches on another site. How do I get to the microswitch??? what do they look like???

Sorry but I am total idiot when it comes to diy and caravans are so new to me.

Thank you for reply

My kitchen tap has the fridge underneath so how would I get access to switch????

possibly just needs the pressure resetting,had trouble with mine for the first time.if your taps have no pressure switches then it will have a pressure valve that needs a reset.if you have the truma heater it will be at the front of it on the floor.if its the old type then its as picture below.picture from wizards site.....if you have no electric cables going to the taps then it is a pressure system.picture shows rear of the pump socket.
