Is it normal for the water pump to periodically come on for about one second when we aren't using any taps or water at the time? Over the last two days the pump has been doing this. Firstly it was only every couple of hours then by last night it was happening every ten minutes. We ended up turning it off. This morning, hubby went to have a shower and the water ran out after only a few minutes. The water tank selector was in the position to use water from both tanks. There is definitely no water left as only a splutter comes out when using the hand pump. This is our first trip using the pump/water tanks as we've used mains water on previous trips. Hubby said he filled up the tanks until water started to splutter out the top. We haven't used heaps of water (one shower, washing up, handwashing, drinking water) so we can't work out if the problem is an issue with the water pump, tanks not being fully filled to start with or a major leak somewhere (it's raining so hard to tell).
Other issue is the gas. It was working fine yesterday morning (used the stove) but in the arvo went to use the stove again and no gas coming out. Tried turning off electric hot water and using gas instead (to test if a stove problem or general gas supply problem) and it wouldn't work either. Both gas tanks are still both relatively full and we tried switching to the other tank with no luck.
Any advice/ideas appreciated!
