Hi mate, wondering if you could help me with this - you seem to know your stuff. The blue clips that hang down (which you press in to drop the pump down), well on my 2010 coachman there's a drip (pretty rapid drip) which eventually drains the whole cistern. Then that goes on to flood the bathroom inside. Anyway, it's under warranty but the shop is over 2 hours away and a lot of messing. From what you know about the pump - can you see why that might be happening? I assume the pump is fully submerged in the cistern tank? Could just be the pump's a bit loose? Thanks! Keep up the vids, VERY helpful.
@TheCaravanNut
8 ай бұрын
The pump is not inside the cistern tank just the pipe from the pump connected to the bottom of the tank. It could be that connection to the cistern or pump side that is not sealed properly, it could be coming from the pump itself or a crack or split in the tank. I would drop the pump down still connected and get someone to press the flush to see if you can locate the drip. This should be covered under warranty for parts. Hope this helps and you manage to sort it. Cheers

Hi Martin! Great video, straight to the point and very informative. Looks like the new pump is much more powerful than ours is in same age 'van. I hope I can do mine in as little as 3:35 when it needs doing 😉! Just a quick Q if you don't mind.... What were the symptoms you had which made you know to change the pump/circuit board? Cheers, Stephen 👍

Hi Stephen Yes thought I’d make it straight to the point! As we have only had the van just over a year I strongly suggest that the previous owner didn’t look after it. The pump is much stronger than the old one which make me think it was possibly getting clogged up. There were no symptoms it’s just didn’t work when we got on site, we haven’t used it since Moreton! Another job done 😊 Hope both you and Karla are well, oh and congrats on the NEC gig 👍😊 Cheers Martin 😊

Thanks for the great video. Our Bailey Ranger S6 has developed a slight leak over the winter, the toilet flush fluid is dripping down from above the pump and this is gathering in the compartment below the waste water tank and then seeping inside the caravan from under the toilet. I used this guide to remove the pump today to check. The pump on ours appears ok but there is a non return valve above the pump which seems to have failed and is leaking. I've sourced one on Amazon, www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07D3BQ72V/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_A4J44QFB9W9CDXP981ZQ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 , so will have a go at replacing it. I'm dreading getting the pump back in as the wiring connector that goes on the PCB board inside the toilet has dropped out of the hole and there's very limited space to work with!

Well I fitted the none return valve and it's still leaking. It turns out there is a hairline crack at the bottom of the pump as well. Despite draining the tank prior to winter storage it appears that water remains in the pipe which runs from the water reservoir and connects to the pump, I'm guessing this has frozen causing the pump to crack. I'm going to try and glue it first and see how I get on! 🤞
