SHower head and back of tap leaking constantly ?? (1 Viewer)

[viks10]

Hello
Hope someone will be able to help.
We are just getting the van organised and put water in the system for the first time since the winter and now the shower head is leaking water constantly even when the water pump is switched off. Also soe water is coming out the back of the shower tap.
Does anyone know what might be causing this?
It is draining the whole tank down and we can't switch it off.
Thanks

PS we have a 2006, benimar sport

Frost damage.

Time to work out how to get at the back and see what has come adrift.

Either plastic cracked or if you are lucky it's pushed a pipe off.

As Brian says, sounds like frost damage oh:

Hopefully its not the tap body that's fractured (expensive). If you can get to behind the tap you'll soon see.

Best of luck.

If in the bathroom, it should be fairly simple to access the underside and examine the pipes beneath the tap. If it is the tap and shower head that have split, you will be looking somewhere in the region of £30 - £80 depending on what you have.

Whenever to winterise, keep taps open and also unscrew the shower head - don't lose the little black washer!

We have all been there at some point, so don't fear!
