Hello everyone, We have been away for a week,and as we are new to touring caravans,we have had ours for just over 12mths.We have had a problem with the water pump running for a long time after the taps have been turned off.I have made sure that the water barrel has been kept full,and the pump has not been run dry so as not to cause it to get damaged.Anyways eventually after a quick exploration under the seats at the inlet,and following the water lines as best I could,bearng in mind this was a quick scan,I didn't find any leaks or damp areas.I checked the pump in a glass jug,and it appeared to have a small split in the area of the hose clip,this was then put below the hose clip by replacing and moving it further up the pipe,problem not solved,and the water pump warm to the touch..Time to replace the whole pump and pipe unit.done.still got an untermittently long running water pump.The water system in our caravan,which is a Lunar 400/2.is a Truma Crystal 2.I replaced the water filter at the start of the season,and it has had around 20 days of use.

  I have already had a quick look at older queries,and have read it could be a pressure switch problem,I willhave to find it and have a look next time we are away. I have also been told that there are micro switches it the taps,and it could be a problem with these.Discretion and valour and all that.it's time to get help and advise from who will than likely know the answer,so any helpand adviceis more than welcome.

      Many thanks in advance Pa Clampett.
