Excellent! Well done for bumping this informative and extremely helpful thread Rob so that lots of members can benefit from it. I am happy to report that the Cava cork solution is still working brilliantly. No wet trouser for months. Well I say no wet trousers. You still have to be careful when your coil up you plastic hose after filling as the last dangly bit has a homing device in it which will seek out your legs and spew out the last bit of water onto you.

Thanks for the reminder. Now you mention it my water pump does a little burp every now and again so maybe I need to start a new thread. 😁

It's normal, turn it off if you don't need it, impossible to be more than 10 feet from the switch.

Not in Barry's van....his bathroom alone is over 10 feet wide. He uses his bike to fetch the soap from the other end of the bathroom.
HEY!! there you go Baz..."Who's got the biggest bathroom" thread.

The old van did it but this one never did until half way through this trip. Its a PIA to turn it off as you forget when you go to bed and its right above the door which in this van is half a mile away.

I've got one of these fitted in my van Barry;


No pulsing or spluttering like in my previous van.

Hmmm. More kit! Its not really an issue. I was just more concerned there was a leak somewhere but I've not found one and I never found one on the old van either. Water flow is excellent.
 
If you have the heating on (pussy) the pipes can expand slightly along their length and that can kick the pump off.

If there's no leaks then it's 100% the non return valve at the pump letting by very slightly. Caused by a bit of debris in the seal or the rubber being perished. Ours did it for several months and then it stopped so dirt or something preventing a seal and then the dirt gets flushed away with the water flow eventually.
END OF THE THREAD 🤐
