switch for sink/water pump

Post by Sir Brixalot »

Morning all

My three year old has ripped off the switch for my sink/water pump. Need to replace. One of the members kindly gave me a link for a replacement but it has been deleted. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Thanks. Think its a homebrew. The old switch looked like this:

There's no reason it has to be an identical switch is there? I'd imagine any caravan/camper supplies would stock something similar - or try the seller of last resort; ebay.

Even a good old fashioned doorbell push would work although I grant you it would look pretty cheap and nasty.

My van originally had a switch on the floor in-front of the fridge which kept sticking. I got a push switch from Maplins and fitted it on the panel in-front of the sink.

i would fit a on/off switch before the push switch. so it doesnt get pushed by accident and if your kids are like mine they will sit there playing with it.
