If you have a Whale pump and it's leaking but you can't seem to find out where from , this may be the cause. Click on pictures to make them bigger. This is what it looks like. There are 3 screws holding the socket together on the outside of the caravan ( pic shows one of the screws ). The screws look like this. This shows the positions of the other screws ( 2 of ). What happened was , when i went on holiday recently , the pump socket started leaking , it caused water to leak into the caravan through the pins on the back of the socket and also leak out the front of the socket , this happened mainly when the pump was running , but due to the leak the pump would run more often ( nearly all the time , constantly switching on and off ). I worked out that the upper 2 screws holding the socket together on the outside had lost their grip ( stripped threads ) , and this was causing water to leak past a rubber " O ring " seal that is located behind them . So to fix the problem i just changed the shorter screws for some longer ones. The pictures below show how the socket ( outside ) comes apart and goes back together. Here's the old ( short screw ) and the replacement ( long screw ). Note the screw diameter is the same. This is what lies behind. The small red thing is the micro-switch. This part goes into the hole where the micro-switch is. The cap goes on like this.
The shaped white plastic ring with the holes in it sits on the cap. And fits into here , when assembled. This shows the main part being replaced ( note check the rubber " O ring " is Use your finger to hold the unit together whilest locating the screws. Also Picture of the inside showing the pressure switch adjuster. Note Hope this may be of help to some one. atb Wizard
