Reich pumps provide reliable submersible water solutions for camper van conversions, caravans and motorhomes across the UK. These German-engineered 12V pumps deliver flow rates from 12 to 25 litres per minute, featuring patented automatic venting systems that enable immediate operation after submersion. Popular models include the Reich Easy series in 14L and 18L capacities, plus high-performance PowerJet variants delivering up to 25L per minute. Most Reich pumps operate at 0.5 to 2.1 bar pressure with integrated strainers to protect motors from debris, whilst twin pump models like the 19L series offer redundancy and smoother flow characteristics.
Installation in fresh water tanks requires minimal setup thanks to Reich's high-tech sealing technology and integrated non-return valves on many models. The pumps connect to standard 10mm or 12mm flexible hose using barbed fittings, with 1000mm cables providing adequate reach to 12V leisure battery systems. Automatic pressure switches activate the pumps when taps open and shut them off when closed, maintaining consistent water pressure throughout your van's plumbing system. These submersible units fit inside most water containers including Aquaroll systems, with compact dimensions typically around 55mm diameter making them suitable for narrow tank openings.
Durability sets Reich pumps apart from cheaper alternatives, with special grease depot seals allowing short dry running without damage. The German manufacturing includes dirt-resistant housing materials that simplify cleaning, whilst the patented venting systems eliminate airlocks that affect other pump brands. Most models operate extremely quietly compared to standard water pumps, though higher flow rate PowerJet variants consume more power at around 70 watts. One consideration is that Reich pumps cost more than basic alternatives, but their proven reliability and longer service life often justify the investment for serious van conversions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which wire colours connect to positive and negative on Reich pumps?Reich pumps use brown wire for positive and blue wire for negative connections. However, some Hymer motorhomes have reversed wiring where blue is positive. Always check your vehicle's wiring diagram first, as incorrect polarity reduces pump performance by approximately 20% but won't damage the unit.Why is my Reich pump producing low water flow rate?Low flow typically indicates incorrect wiring polarity, blocked non-return valve, or failed pump motor. Twin pumps should deliver 19L per minute but often achieve 3-4L at taps due to pipe restrictions. Check voltage at pump terminals - it should be at least 12V when running. Clean the inlet strainer and test pump outside the van to isolate system restrictions.How long do Reich pumps typically last before replacement?Reich pumps commonly last 4-6 years with proper maintenance, though some fail within 1-2 years if left dry over winter or contaminated with debris. The non-return valve is often the first component to fail, causing air locks and reduced performance. Twin pump models offer redundancy - if one motor fails, the other continues at reduced flow.What tank opening size do Reich pumps require?Most Reich pumps need an 80mm minimum tank opening diameter to fit properly. The pumps measure approximately 55mm x 45mm in cross-section and will fit inside standard Aquaroll containers and most caravan fresh water tanks. Check your tank opening before ordering as some compact tanks have smaller access points.Do I need the inlet strainer filter on my Reich pump?Yes, always fit the inlet strainer to protect the pump motor from debris, even though flow rate improves slightly without it. New Reich pumps sometimes arrive without strainers, so transfer the filter from your old pump. The strainer prevents tank debris from damaging internal components and blocking the non-return valve.Can Reich pumps handle running dry without damage?Reich pumps feature special high-tech sealing with grease depot technology that allows short dry running without immediate damage. However, extended dry running will eventually damage the motor. The patented automatic venting system enables immediate operation after refilling tanks, unlike standard pumps that require priming.
