Hello all,
I have recently changed from a camper van to a 1996 compass Lynx caravan,
My water supply was working fine until I got it out of hibernation and reconnected the pump to the filter unit (truma crystal mark 2).
Now water is leaking around the pump/filter site. Water is still coming through the taps. I think the filter was overtightened.
I have tried replacing the o ring washer but with no improvement.
I did some reading up and decided that an ultra flow conversion kit would be the best option. However once I bought the unit I have discovered that it won't fit into the space in the battery locker, and due to the width of the 2 inlet sockets I can't trim it Down. It looks as though the crystal 2 had to be trimmed anyway.
I've looked into the ultraflow compact, which is slightly too short for the space but even then, there are 2 hoses within the van to connect to the back of the unit, I believe a non return valve is within that unit, so I don't think it will be possible. I can't see any 3 way fittings on the internet that would remedy this. (Not bothered about filtered water as wouldn't drink it anyway, it's for washing.
I'm now thinking of removing the current set up, cleaning and inspecting for any cracks, if there is any, possibly sealing them up, and replacing the pump connector as the pump is actually working.
Just wondering if anyone has any better ideas or thinks this will work, if so, what can I use to seal any cracks I may find? Thanks in advance.
