hi,
i'm new to this forum bit i need a quick bit of advice!
i own a 2006 model swift sundance 590PR, when i use the cold water the pump starts turning itself on and off very quickly, even though the water tank is full of water and the van is level, i looked in the manuel and it said to adjust the screw on top of the pump, i tried this and it hasn't made any diffrence!
has anyone any advice on what it might be as the dealer are not to sure!
many thanks for any replies.

try opening and closing the taps or run the taps when filling up with water it's an air lock in the hot water tank i used to get the same thing before i did the above

Hi Scoobydoo, What you have is a pump & a seperate pressure regulated cut out switch which is very sensitive to voltage fluctuations. Therefore the settings will be different between say, sat in your drive for a fortnight, at the end of a long drive or when you turn the battery charger on. It is imperative though that ALL air is removed from the system. The quickest method which i use at work is close all taps bar cold kitchen, Run till constant turn off, then bathroom cold, then kitchen hot, bathroom hot & finally shower head cold & hot. Only then do you adjust the screw so that when you close the tap off the pump runs for a couple of seconds no more. Job done. If your pump tops up more then roughly twice an hour after that you have aleak in the system, Happy camping, Steve

Hi Scoobydo.
Our swift has a small water tank so we run the pump and open the taps when filling. Then turn them off when there's no longer air coming-out in the water.
If we do this we can have a long weekend fishing without running-out.
If we don't we can't
