Hi all.
Having a problem with my water in the van.
I am filling up the system as normal opening taps etc,water flowing out of the taps fine.
But when I go to use the taps the following morning,I have to do the same thing again.the frost protection valve is closed on the boiler.
I can't find a leak and am wondering if the Reich pump in the tank is letting water drain back down into the tank.
Is this possible

Back again
Are you saying that the non return valve is not part of the pump but a separate piece?

Got at the pump this evening.
Found the non return valve which I wouldn't have found without your help.
Turns out there was a small piece of plastic stuck in it,so job done.
BUT there's no filter on the Reich pump to stop this happening.
I thought there would be a mesh cap in the inlet but none it seems.
So how can I prevent this.
A filter I guess, but a filter before the pump??
Any ideas

Since 1996, had Elddis/Swift/Rapido/Rimor/Chausson MHs. Autocruise/Globecar PVCs/Compactline i-138
I wonder if the plastic has always been there (not removed during production) and just been moved so it finally blocked it ... I'd just leave well alone now you've found the problem and worry about it if it re-occurs.
