Question

Hi Tom I have recently purchased a campervan. The van is fitted with a Shurflo trail 7 pump. When I try to fill and pressurise the system the pump constantly makes a clicking noise and water splurts everywhere even after the system has been pressurised do you think it is the pump any help would be appreciated thanks. John

Answer

It is likely that the pump is drawing air into the system. Check all the pipe connections to ensure they are tight and also check the inlet filter for cracks in the housing.
