My water pump keeps running even when my water is turned off. I have to turn the water pump switch off to stop the pump from running. Then if I leave it for a while and switch it back on it remains off. Is there anything I can do to fix this other then buying a new pump?

Thanks I'll try that, I've found out some more info on this and I think your right about the micro switch, I've had the whole thing apart, and put back together, It seems to have fixed this to a certain extent, but now the switch seems to fluctuate, ie the water coming thru the switch seems to judder, then if I turn the water back on then turn off slowly, it stops! It doesn't happen all the time, in fact quite infrequently, so going to live with this for now.

Try ensuring the tap is in the central position when turned off.This worked for me.Think it's something to do with the micro switch
