When I last put my van back in store I left the water pump on. Cold snap, drain on Truma opens and all the water is pumped out.
The pump was running dry for a whole week continously, I only noticed on my next visit because I could hear the motor running. Tested it and the pump still works :Smile::Smile:

Batteries OK as I have loads of solar.

I can't fault the Shurflo pumps either.

I have had 3 pumps fail in my first Hymer. My second one was a Eura and this had a shurflo. Then I moved onto self builds and have had the same Shurflo pump now for 3 years being hammered 52 weeks a year and it is rock solid.

Great Quality.:thumb:

shurflo and fiamma (among others) diaphragm pumps are designed to run dry indefinitely.

centrifugal pumps rely on water to lubricate the impeller and will seize if run dry for long.
