Water Pump; Leave on while camping?

Like lostagain said, we always turn our off unless I forget.
Like Stephen said, if it does cycle at all, even for a second, you got a leak. For a long time wife complained about stuff getting damp under the sink even though I could find no drip anywhere. If I left the pump on it did cycle once every few hours. Recently replaced galley sink and faucet. Stopped the cycle and the dampness but still turn it off....if I can remember.

BTW, offgrid is a genius. As usual. I really got tired of hauling these tubs around! That inflatable will be soooo much easier!! Thanks OG!!

	Nah, I was having a low IQ day when I suggested the propane heater for it. Get 2 of these instead. Who needs all that nasty fossil fuel. Should heat up nice in about 3-4 hours on a sunny day if not sooner. If its not sunny that day don't take a soak, and you can always warm it up a bit in the evening with a pot of hot water from the stove. https://www.amazon.com/Intex-Solar-Heater-Ground-Swimming/dp/B00O80PSE6/ref=sr_1_2?c=ts&dchild=1&keywords=Swimming+Pool+Heaters&qid=1596272421&refinements=p_n_feature_three_browse-bin%3A3613868011&s=lawn-garden&sr=1-2&ts_id=3613854011 Get one of these to circulate the water. https://www.amazon.com/Q-BAIHE-Self-priming-Water-Circulation-ZC-520/dp/B01BSLXHUY Connect either to your 12V supply or directly to a 20 watt 12V PV module. Inflate and fill once when you get to camp. If no hose bibb at camp no problem, use the little pump and fill it from the creek, this one is supposed to be self priming. then connect it to the solar collector.....
