About this deal

Now the Achilles heel of the submersible pump is – they are submerged. They are designed so that the surrounding water is kept from the internal electrical components of the motor with watertight seals. However, the impeller shaft emerging via a seal, usually an ‘O’ ring, from the motor housing, can be prone to failure over time, resulting in the motor flooding and no longer functioning.

One of the things that upset me most, was that there seemed to be zero realisation that, by not proBut viding a comprehensive service it absorbed my time, reduced my usage and enjoyment and was a cost. It was also inefficient for them and did not engender customer loyalty. I should add, I know I am only talking about 1 dealer, but they have a ‘good’ name around here. I also feel that I read lots of similar reports on different forums. Spade connector after crimping tight with pliers. PCV insulator must first be fitted as shown.

You will find that some submersible pumps have ‘Do not run dry’ printed on them by way of a warning. My caravan documention suggests I have 3 years warranty on the Whale water system which is good but not if you have to continually keep returning the van to the dealer to get things sorted. I explained that normally on opening a tap the water flow would be good for a few seconds then slow then speed up again. To me this suggested the IC was controlling the voltage to the pump which was part of its surge prevention facility. The reply I received was no it doesn’t do that it’s your non return valve.
