Whale water pump.

Hi folks,

Just getting van ready for a few days camping with my boys. Just noticed the water pump, the one that services the tap in the sink has stopped working. It was fine last week.

I have no idea what to check for, can anyone help?

Its not really important for this trip, but would like to have a bash at trying to fix it. A new one is about £20 or so.

Cheers

Pete

Assuming it's a Whale submersible pump (& not an inline pump) check the power supply to the pump including the fuse. If the pump is making a noise & you have no water at the tap, check that the plastic supply hose is still attached to the pump outlet.

For an inline pump check the power supply, fuse & hose inlet/oulet connections on the pump & see if the pump needs priming.

Thanks Bowton Lad, will give that a try, It is indeed a submersible one.

Cheers
