It seems like there is always something. I have just tried to use the black under slung water tank. it has a small blue water pipe coming out of it into what looks like a pump and out of that into another pipe that goes up to my tap, when i switch it on i hear a warring but no water. Could it be that this system has an inline pump and that its knackered?

Any idea how to test it?
