Whale Smartflo UV0814 Freshwater Pump 8 Litre
Is this the model?
Under neath the pump there are 4 screws. remove them,the pump will come a part. Dont worry no springs or owt silly will fall out. You will see diaphram that rocks side to side,just remove this and clean the ports. Hopfuly sorted then.

Do you have a brass T valve to select from the onboard tank or external on your van? If so remove this valve and the plastic screw in connection that the pump pipe work connects to, in the T valve then there's a small gauze filter, check to see if that's blocked. Give the valve a good clean out while off. Hope that makes some sense. Seen that filter being blocked cause the fault you described before.

Some of the early models had a filter fitted between the pushfit and the pump body. Unscrew the intake pushfit and will see it if it is fitted. Also I have heard of someone having to prime the pump after it was run dry this was done by back filling the system. I have found that usually if there is no flow and the pump is running, there is either an air leak on the intake side, usually where the tube meets the van or the internal valves are contaminated with residue. If you do decide a new one is the route for you be aware you can buy the pump head as a separate item at around £40.

Check outlet from water heater. There should be a T piece one going to tap one going to vent with clear pipe going through floor.
There is valve in Tee piece which opens to allow air to escape heater when water reaches valve it should shut off and water goes to tap.
I had this problem on mine after giving a good blow to remove dirt holding valve open to vent.
Tip donot open tap to hot until you have good flow from cold in each tap/shower ETC then open to hot side of tap as explained to me by caravan engineer.
Ps are the aerators on your taps clean surprising the amount of rubbishy in site systems I clean mine at least once a month some screw out others prise out held in by rubber O ring.

Hi, In your position (I've got the same Pump) I would test the pump until it failed again, then connect an output hose from the pump to a bucket and start it again. This should confirm if its a pump fault or the fault lies elsewhere. Repeat a few times to make sure. I hope you solve the problem and let us know the cause of the failure.
