 >>the hot water came out like a fountain!!!!!
Sounds like you need to check the pump to me , could you borrow one ? or some how test yours away from the caravan to see what sort of pressure it's producing .

I am using one of them whale thingy's and it worked fine whilst we were on hols and on one day it just sort of didn't so I bought a new whale pump connected it and there appears to be a decent amount of water pressure being dispersed?

I am not convinced it is the pump? as the new one is as powerful as the old one?

The tap is one of them Elegance ones?

Ah i see , so it's not the water pump , if your getting a good flow from the tap when you use a hose , but not when you use the pump , do you have a good power supply to the pump ? 12volts ? , can't think of what else it could be m8 , maybe the tap ?

I am sure it is the tap...... but then again what could cause the blockage? especially since it flowed luvverly when I applied a little pressure???

Think I will resolve by buying a new bucket  and hand pump!!!!1

Sounds like a tap strip down is needed , have to say it's got me beat , let us know what it was when you find the problem .

Nice one michael thanks

SORTED.......

I think it really turned out to be an air block???

But whilst dimantling the tap assembly.... broke the micro switch..... replaced it though ......

Just hoping that it really was an air block but i will find out this weekend!!

Thanks for all your replies and guidance!!!

Hi all , got a question , just how does an air block work ?? how does it block the system or pipe work ? could someone enlighten me .

Thanks
