No it doesn't have have a blanking plug, but did you fit an in-line non-return valve in the hose on the other side? it doesn't have a built in valve either and as a replacement for the mk2, you might find it needs one!

Hello Gary

Our new pageant provence series 7 made its first trip this weekend. Can you tell me if the on board pump should be noisey when working please? I read the handbook but couldn't find anything covering any adjustments.

Advice would be appreciated, I've never had an on board pump before.

Only do them as an aside really, I keep being asked for advice on changing, so I give it and then then let them buy the bits from their local dealer  presumably the same dealer that should have been offering the advice in the first place?! so I thought I'd cut them out the loop

The Ultraflow, (or mk4 as I call it), is actually a good design in as much as it gets rid of the screw-in filter of the mk1/mk2 and the problem of cracking. They did though omit to fit an NVR but given this was prone to fail, that's probably a good idea as it's easy enough to fit an in-line one

The mk4/Ultraflow fits directly in place of the mk2/mk3 and Truma also supply an adaptor plate so you can swap it for the larger mk1 filter housing.

We have an earlier truma pump and I find it awkward to plug in to the compact housing.  You think its connected but sometimes when I turn on the tap water leaks from the connection and I have to go and connect it again.  Smearing a bit of vegetable oil on the rubber ring helped a bit.

Is the ultraflow much easier to connect and is it worth swapping my compact housing and pump for an ultraflow?  Is it a simple enough job?
