Hi,

only recently changed from tent to caravan and had our first extended trip away in a 1998 Ariva.

I connected the submersable pump to the inlet socket as instructed and all seemed to work fine. Then noticed that when we draw water via the cold tap there is a stream of water coming from the square hole between the pump connection and the filter cartridge. There is also I think a coresponding "cough" in the flow from the taps as if there is air in the system although we still get water flow.

With the two of us we seem to go through a 40l tank in about 24 hours. This seems a bit excessive for what we do so suspect the loss from the external connection is causing that.

Would like a bit of advice on whether this is normal or not. If not, any thoughts on the cause.

Regards

Mariner

Thanks for the quick reply, it was more the water coming back out that worried me. Can't see any reason why it should pour out like that.

Hi Mike,

yes, that's the one. I'll check tomorrow in daylight.

Cheers

i had this one time and the investigation found that the water pipe had pulled off inside the white box fitting that pushes into the van..easy fix though.just two screws to undo,carefully open it up and push the pipe back on fully.close as you opened it.take care not to bend the contacts inside.
