For three weeks the pump of tank 1 did not functioned any more. Following a shower having emptied it, its filling did not allow the restarting of the pump. Advice of a specialist and reading the documentation recommended the cleaning of the filters and the membranes of the pump. I did it but without result, the pump did not start again.
