My wife and I are in France for six weeks, about a week ago the water pump packed up whilst we were at Gavarnie. As it is a submersible (I think) the only thing I have been able to look at is the fuse, which seems fine.
I guess that the problem either lies with the pump itself or the pressure switch. We rang Burstner France and they suggested a dealer near Narbonne, which was too much out of our way to bother with, we were near Albi at the time. So we decided to work round the problem. Nevertheless, as we still have two weeks to go and not having water from the taps is inconvenient, does anybody have any fault finding suggestions or knowledge of things that might cause the failure (and can be fixed here).
If there are no obvious solutions, I will wait until we get back to the UK and get it fixed under the warranty.
I would be grateful if anybody posting a reply could also PM me as I can pick up emails on my phone, but may not have internet after tonight.
Thanks in advance.
