Re: water pump
Should be easy to find now Paul has posted a photo. Near the heater or just listen for the pump and the pressure regulator should be near, I don't know the layout of your van.
once found, just use small turning of the knob until the pump stops, you may have to adjust it again depending if on EHU or battery.
Happy hunting.

Re: water pump
Don't know layout of your van. But the regulator will (obviously!) in a hose line out of the pump Assuming you can find the pump, then follow the pipes.... On mine, the regulator is under a bench seat which is in front of the wardrobe, but it's high on the wardrobe bulkhead and not easily visible because the lifted bench cushion obscures it unless you really bend down and look upwards - it's a few feet away from the pump which is on the floor under that bench. Not obvious!

Re: water pump
On our Bourton this switch is particularly well hidden. I think it was installed from a security perspective, where it could never be stolen as the thief would never be able to find it.
There are two white inspection plastic discs located under the seating area, nearest the wardrobe and heating unit. Looking into either of them will reveal nothing, as you’ll never see the switch. Slide your hand into the hole furthest away from you, and nearest the wall, and you’ll find it tucked away in there.
Obviously this relates to our Bourton, but you may have something similar on yours ?

Re: water pump
I didn't really want to have to go through that every time the battery had a different voltage so first alteration on our Wircester was to remove the whale submersible and pressure switch and replace it with a Whalemaster pump - pleased with it so far.shortstock wrote:come on guys .......... someone must know .....even emailed Autosleeper lol ..........

Re: water pump
Errrr, well I confess that when I say 'I' I really mean Leisuretech NE! As I wanted the 3M filter fitting I took the opportunity to have the pump changed too. The work involved dropping the tank, removing the submersible pump then the pressure switch (inside a kitchen cupboard, fitting the new pump where the pressure switch had been located and connecting it all to the existing pipe work.shortstock wrote:how did you do this ?rventhusiast wrote:I didn't really want to have to go through that every time the battery had a different voltage so first alteration on our Wircester was to remove the whale submersible and pressure switch and replace it with a Whalemaster pump - pleased with it so far.shortstock wrote:come on guys .......... someone must know .....even emailed Autosleeper lol ..........

It probably is well within the capabilities of any good DIY person although the hardest bit would be dropping the tank. I do know that others on the Autosleeper forum have left the submersible in situ, but disconnected electrically, and the new pump has had sufficient power to draw water through the impeller.
Leisuretech did try a Shurflo 20psi initially but it just didn't have enough power to supply a good flow through the (very fine) 3M filter so used the Whalemaster 30psi on advice from the technical department at Pozzani who are the UK agents fir the filter.

Re: water pump
There is a factsheet on replacing submersible pump with a Shurflo (or whalemaster or flojet) in the factsheet section.

Re: water pump
Love you people. Our water pump wasn't shutting off. It had me worried. I have just primed the water system and must have tightened down the pressure controller by mistake when closing the vents to the boiler. One search on here and problem solved.

Where is the water pump in my Symphony?
I have a 1999 Peugeot Boxer with an Autos-Sleeper Symphony conversion. Does anyone know where I can find the water pump? I have checked all the cupboards without success. It was replaced last year, before I owned the van, with a Sureflo pump. Could it be in the tank?

Re: water pump
Shurflo are not submersible, they were standard on the Symphony and are located under false floor in cupboard under cooker.

Obviously so desperate for an answer that he hasn't visited the forum since posting the question. Sometimes I wonder why I bother.Johndoe wrote:I have a 1999 Peugeot Boxer with an Autos-Sleeper Symphony conversion. Does anyone know where I can find the water pump?
