TOILET FLUSH PUMP

[Fraseb01]

Good Evening all,

Over the weekend i cleaned and checked over the caravan ,even did the yearly roof clean wich was not to bad to be honest.

Only fault i found was toilet flush not working, i traced the fault to the pump, gave it a clean and all good , working great.

Is this likely to cause issues in the future , should i change now ?

All it seemed to be was slight clean required .

Thanks,

Brian.

I would buy a new pump, and put it in the box, marked " Might need later" with all the other spare items.

Pump could go on for a long while yet. But even if it should fail it’s not an absolute emergency as a 2 litre Coke/Pepsi bottle does the job until you get a new pump.

Yeh so true, i looked online , lots good feedback on aftermarket units , could be worth having one in the box as Hutch says lol 🙈🙈🙈

It's a pretty common issue. I have had my pump out a good few times now because it isn't working, a quick flick of the impeller and all is good again (until the next time)
I always check it's working a couple of days prior to any trip.
I carry a spare fresh water pump (having been caught out when one failed some years ago, they are nit very durable it seems)? and I am pretty certain it's the same as the toilet flush.
There are plenty for sale on Ebay at very reasonable prices, so don't think you need one from a dealers. Just be sure to get one with a good enough/high enough flow rate.
