Have I overfilled?

[FatRat]

I came back from a week away yesterday and refilled the fresh water (Elddis Autoquest 115). I did fill it until it overflowed from the filling spout and assumed there would be an overflow underneath. I did notice yesterday when I was underneath the van doing another job that there was a drip (again, I assumed overflow).

This morning I have switched on the pump and I get this.....

I have drained the fresh water but the pump still wants to run as if a tap is on.

Or you've run over a cat!

No idea what the squeak is. But is your water heater dump valve closed?

It is Jim, I have switched it on and off a few times. I do wonder if it is faulty as I had an issue a while back which seem to be resolved by open and closing it.

I have ordered a service kit for the pump (Whale Watermaster FP0814 (B)), hopefully that will resolve it.

Those whale pumps don't last long, the brushes wore out on ours and it's a sealed motor
I replaced ours with a sureflo 30psi thing.

Also the yellow boiler drain valves leak after a while, I stripped ours down and cleaned it. It still dripped all be it more slowly so I ended up fitting a John guest shut off ball valve on it.

Could it be sucking through the filler point, try opening the cap.
Just a thought. Bob.
