Anyone with a PRB Lorry - how does the water tank work?

[dressage_diva]

Just bought a second hand PRB lorry and have worked out how to fill the lorry's tank (and can see it's got water in from the meter just inside the living door), but I'm not sure how to then use it! Obviously I'd attach hose to the attachment just to the left of the living door (which I attached the hose to when filling the tank) but I can't seem to find a switch to turn the pump on to force water out of the hose? Spoke to PRB before I bought the lorry and they said there should be a switch, but I can't find it! Can anyone tell me where it is on their lorry as I'm obviously being a numpty! Thanks

Is there a switch that looks like a light switch on the wall of the living, that doesn't switch on a light - that'll be the one! an ex-owner had a PRB lorry - I'm trying to remember exactly where it was - it was somewhere unexpected though....

When I remember more exactly, I'll let you know lol!

My water pump switch is one of 3, the other 2 are living and horse area lights.

Ours is above the sink. It looks like a light switch

ours was just inside the door but at floor level

Thanks everyone! So have found a switch at floor level just inside door that is next to the step light but pressing it 'on' doesn't do anything when I turn the sink tap on. We've only filled water tank up a bit (but it's registering green on the meter) as don't want to fill it too full as it has a bit of a leak. Should it just work if I turn it on or am I being a numpty and missing something else?

For mine, pressing the switch at floor level turns on the pump to the outside - water comes out where you pump the water in (ours is right of living door, as you look at it from outside). Sink water comes on when we turn the tap, as long as we remember to put in the isolator for the living

does it make a sound when you flick it on? if not it sounds like the pumps gone, if sound but no water tank just needs filling.

Nope no sound whatsoever and it's definitely got water in as we filled it up and saw the lights go from red to green on the meter.

pumps gone by sound of it.

ours only went once in approx 10 years of having the lorry and wasnt too £££ to fix i dont think.

Thanks PS. The lorry is older than that so its not surprising (and seller hadn't used the horse wash at all themselves). Will look into getting it looked at.
