FAQs
Is this pump suitable for saltwater?
No, this pump is designed exclusively for use with fresh water systems in caravans and motorhomes.
Can I run this pump dry?
No, running the pump without water will cause the motor to overheat and lead to permanent damage.
What voltage does the pump require?
The pump is designed to operate on a standard 12V DC power supply found in most caravans and campervans.
How do I secure the hose to the pump?
Use a suitable hose clamp or jubilee clip to ensure a watertight seal between the pump outlet and your water hose.
Does this pump have a built-in check valve?
The pump relies on the system design; check your existing caravan plumbing to see if a non-return valve is required for your specific setup.
Troubleshooting
Pump is running but no water is coming out
Check if there is sufficient water in the tank and ensure the pump is fully submerged. Inspect the hose for kinks or blockages.
Pump makes a humming noise but does not pump water
This may be an airlock. Tilt the pump slightly while submerged to release trapped air, or ensure the outlet hose is not restricted.
Pump does not activate
Check the 12V power connection, verify the fuse in your caravan's electrical panel, and ensure the tap switch is functioning correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the pump, connect it to the 12V power supply within your caravan's electrical system and attach the appropriate hose to the outlet nozzle using a suitable hose clip. Always ensure the pump is fully submerged before activating the power to prevent motor damage. Compatibility is generally high across standard 12V caravan systems. To maintain the pump, periodically check the water tank for debris to prevent clogging the intake. If the vehicle is being stored for long periods, remove the pump from the tank, drain it, and allow it to dry thoroughly to prevent mineral buildup and bacterial growth.
