Another pump disaster

[DeliDave_]

Tried the van out yesterday to go away next Friday and filled up the water system to find the Whale Aquasmart pump leaking through the motor.Have Bailey Indiana and couldnt get the original Type,local dealer said the standard one was the only available replacement which didnt have a pump running wire.Parted with £120 and took the pump part off and got the original working.Dismantled the broken one furthur and it looks like water in the pump housing froze and pushed the diaphragm over one of the retaining screws even though the water was drained from system.It also looks like the pump running wire is just picked up after the pressure microswitch so am hoping to add one to this motor and have a spare.

Dont know if Whale sell spares but internet search didnt show any suppliers and time was tight but £120 hurt a bit.

I did think about changing everything for an external pump but as its still under warranty wanted to keep it standard but if it goes again then I think thats what I'll do.We go abroad a couple of times a year at at
