Whale internal pump strainer leaks all the time

[Jerry1976]

I have fitted 2 brand new whale internal pump strainers and both leak when waters connected I just don’t understand thinking maybe I should just not bother having it.

Where are they leaking from?
If it is what they plug into the then it could be the O ring in the female part of the fitting

Hi I think I’ve worked out what’s wrong I have the caravan plugged into the mains water via a whale connection kit from the caravan to mains tap and I think this is causing too much pressure causing the leak I think I need to just go back to a aquaroll instead. 👍

Probably yes but also no. Follow Martin’s advice and change the O rings on the socket.

Direct mains connection needs a pressure limiter included - the Truma direct connection kit includes that as standard.
