Hi All

We are new to caravans (previous tenters) so may have a few more questions for you all but we'll start with this one.

We have a Adria Altea with a Whale water pump (i think although forgot to check before put van back in storage).  Ever since we have had it when you turn the tap on it makes a loud clicking noise, coming from somewhere near the water heater, when the pump is running. It doesn't seem to affect the pressure as all the taps work ok and but you can hear it from outside and I haven't heard any other vans making such noises.  It does this all the time regardless of how full the aquaroll is and whether it is running off the battery or EHU. 

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

the newer water pumps have a pressure adjustment valve if you turn on the tap and hear clicking and for about 5 seconds after you turn of the tap you still here it you need to lift the front seats and adjust it . it is just a little valve you turn

it will click when running but when full it should stop clicking.depends on your system fitted.ie. micro switches on the taps or a pressurized system.with a pressurized system it will continue to click until fully pressurized.with a micro switch,when the tap is turned it will operate the pump.if it is a pressurized system and does not stop then it needs adjusting.

the only silly question is the one you do not ask.
