Water Pumps

The pump when switched on is activated by the release of pressure at the tap and will pump water continuously until the
tap is turned off and pressure restored. Should the pumps activate while the taps is turned off this could indicate a leak

and require investigation and rectification.

Selecting Fresh Water Tank

Beneath the water pump location on the outside of the caravan you will find the selector valves to choose which water

tank feeds the water pump.
