Westie sink tap

Post by RobClu »

Calling all T3 Westie types...
Now I've got a new battery fitted, the sink tap is working again but its a pathetic dribble with lots of gurgling. Is this what they are always like or have I got a problem? If the latter - any ideas as to cause?

Thanks in advance!

Mines a flower but I know that if I run mine dry it gurgles and dribbles just takes time to rid the system of air I find?

Is your water level totally above the pump?

Hi,
The tank's about half-full I reckon, but it has been dry for months. How long did it take yours to stop gurgling?

Mine gurgles all the time, its full up to the top and more often than not takes a bit of time for the water to come through.
