    Why does the pump cycle on/off in my Elddis Motorhomes with all taps closed?

      If the pump in your Elddis Motorhome cycles on and off even when all taps and the shower are closed, you should: * Check for any air or water leaks in the taps and piping. * Inspect the non-return valve in the socket for grit. You can clear it by pushing a blunt object, like a ballpoint pen, into the socket nipple to dislodge any trapped grit. * Recalibrate the system.

      If the pump in your Elddis Motorhome isn't running, there are several things you can check: Ensure at least one tap is open. Try turning the pump isolation switch off and on again. Check the battery condition, the mains isolator switch, and the pump isolator switch to make sure they are all on. Also, verify that the contacts in the plug and socket are clean and making contact.
