Hymer 544 help (1 Viewer)

[TimBo]

Hello, recently bought a Hymer 544 1997 model, so it's all pretty new to us, got a couple of questions,

We filled the water tank up but the water came out as a trickle I gave the waterpump a shake but there was no improvement, any ideas on why it's not working?

The other thing is the sink waste / bathroom waste, water from the kitchen sink and bathroom sink/shower is running out onto the ground from a pipe located under the bathroom, we emptied the waste water tank but it's still running out of the pipe onto the ground?

All help appreciated, thanks, Tim.

are you sure it is the kitchen sink running onto the floor. clean waste (bathroom sink and shower) From mine vents straight to the floor, kitchen waste to the Grey water tank. I thought it was unusual but of course it may not be. Could be a waste pipe come adrift from the bathroom sink or shower.
Waterpump could be blocked, have leaking seals or just generally shot. might be a tight pressure switch. locate the pump and give it a good clean. then test with a bucket if water before putting it back.

The low pressure from the tap sounds like a faulty pump if the flow from all taps are the same.
The grey water problem sounds like a loose or split waste pipe before it gets to the grey water tank.

Tim.

would I be correct in saying this is a submersible pump ?

If it's running but not pumping you may have an air lock .. this can be cleared by blowing back down the line .. use your mouth on the tap furthest from the pump..

or, a faulty check valve, located near the pump discharge, remove and clean,

if none of these, fit a new pump , any van dealer will stock, it's always worth carrying a spare.

If you've got a Truma combi boiler it sounds like the automatic drain valve is open. I'm afraid I dont know where it is on your M'home but it should be somewhere near the boiler. The button should be up.

This would explain your feeble flow at the taps, and the water coming out underneath.
