    I looked at an elec. schedule and I saw the + was wired to the -.
    Could not believe that would be right. Now after seeing your video I know it works and I can go on with it. Thanks bro!!!

    Brilliant, thanks very much for the very clear explanation. Who would've thought that you connect a positive to a negative. Worked an absolute treat. Thank you. :)

    Just a correction. The tap doesn’t have positive and negative. It’s a simple switch which allows the current to flow or not, so inverting the tap wires doesn’t make any difference. 👍

    @annaprendergast752 Před rokem

    Hi Tommy, I've got a 12v leisure battery but no inverter to keep things simple. I do have a consumer unit, purely for AC power. Can I run my cable from my fuse block to the pump? I ran a spare cable to my kitchen unit so there is one sitting there ready.

    Hi, both my tap and my pump and an earth wire. Do they need to be wired any different? Or can the earth wires all just be put together and screwed to the van?

  • @leoobrien3759
    @leoobrien3759 Před 2 lety

    Hey. Thanks for this video. Have wired up in the same way as you and pump isn't working. Could this be to do with the vollt drop? When measuring on the multimeter its coming out at 10.5 volts at the pump... we are using 1.5mm speaker cable and the sink is just behind the drivers seat and battery under passengers, so under 1.5m. Thanks!

    Hi Tommy, can you help, I have a VW Campervan which has a similar pump to your very informative you tube video, the issue is I have is my current tap is not working, I have checked the pump which seems to work immersed into my water bottle but no water is coming through the tube to the tap. Someone has said the pump even though is making a noise may be faulty. Any ideas please?

    • @LT_TOMMY_
      @LT_TOMMY_  Před 2 lety

      The voltage seems kind of low, try it once fully charged. Check all pipework for kinks or sharp bends etc. Check tap itself isn't blocked.
      After that I'd return if you have recently had it from new .👍👍👍

  • @timgriffey1154
    @timgriffey1154 Před rokem

    Just wondering if anyone could help, just installed this exact pump and tap in my van and the pump is permanently on when I make it live. The tap is controlling the flow and stopping the flow but not switching off the pump. My wiring is correct, I think, but I can’t figure out what the problem is. Has anyone else had this? If so please help me out, can’t find any examples of this on line for these whale pump and taps

    Help me out mate I Got the same tap and pump would it work running of a motorbike battery?

    • @LT_TOMMY_
      @LT_TOMMY_  Před 2 lety

      Personally I've never done it so not sure.
      I'd imagine if it's a 12v battery it would work, depends on the ah of the battery on how long it would last etc.👍
