the shurflo trailking 7 pump on my motorhome runs on after turning taps off and then has to be turned off at the power switch. this mostly happens when the watertank is only halvefull does this mean that the pump is faulty. (this also happens when we use the electric flush on the toilet.)bob

This is only a guess.

I had same problem with my caravan pump in barrel and it turned out to be the pressure valve in the cold flow pipe, it's white with knurled knob on top , didn't effect toilet pump as that has it's own pump.

Turn the knurled knob clockwise to close the valve, open a cold tap and turn the valve back on until it starts clicking then stop. Check if you have same prob: turn a littlle more anti clockwise.

Hope this helps.
