Hi I have a Truma submersible pump that won't switch off, except at the main switch. I have tried bleeding. I was told it has to do with a pressure switch. Can anyone help and tell me what to do? The van is a Lunar Conquest 462 2012.
Thanks.

I had the same problem, and it was the pressure switch.

Not cheap though.

Thanks for your response. The van is still under warranty, so will leave it to the supplier to sort. I was hoping it was something I could do or adjust simply.

2012 I take it it's a dealer warranty.

XVI yes?

As well is two words!

It is dealer warranty and will be done by them, but not for some time.

Have you checked to see if there is a water tap slightly open without knowing (including the shower)?
If a tap isn't turned off fully then the system won't pressurise causing the pump to run continously. If all taps are confirmed as fully closed then it most likely is a pressure switch problem.

If you have changed the pump it will need re calibrating.
This switch is really sensitive. A pain in the backside too
