Water pump

We are using battery power, inverter is on but water pump not coming on! Any suggestions?

The water pump is 12v, so it’s not necessary to have the inverter on to use it. The most obvious thing of course is making sure the pump is switched on. I’m assuming you did that though, so the next thing I’d check is your DC distribution panel and see if the water pump fuse is burned out. If not that, then you’re probably looking at more involved issues, like the pressure switch being bad.
Another thought - is it not turning on at all, or it hums but you don’t get water? If the latter, it just needs to prime itself, which can be resolved by opening a faucet and letting it run for a bit.

Water pump is 12v. Inverter has nothing to do with it. Is “use/store” switch on?

Yes

Thank you - we’re back on the road and will check the fuse when we stop again

Was it working before and just quit? Only things I can think of have already been mentioned; Use/Store in Use and the galley pump switch set to ON. Be sure to turn that off when you travel. Some here reported that the kitchen faucet accidentally turned on and water ran from the sink cover to the floor and soaked everything.

We Got it working!! Turns out the wire behind the switch had come loose. The pump has worked before this so it must’ve come loose while moving. We’re happy that it didn’t require a bigger repair!!
