Link above for the pump mate...

Here is a thread on another website about someone with similar issues and how they replaced fuse.

Except you said it works whilst hose plugged in so may not be the issue anyway.

I force water into the pump by lifting the water container up high and tap the pump a bit and it seems to fire up and work.

Thanks Andy,
I'll try that tomorrow, to cold outside now - must be -4C already.

Here's a good video to watch too on the impeller for another issue that may arise...lol

That vid looks exactly the same as a Junkers HWS I used to service in most housing commission places.

You need to understand how they work, IMO they work like an instantaneous HWS. It needs water pressure to open the "gas part"
Only saying that from looking at the Vid AB put up. Putting in hose it worked so thinking you're on the right track. Seem strange a part has failed.
Brainstorming like this will get to the bottom of it.

OK update, the impeller in the pump ceased/stuck so I sprayed some WD40 in there left it a few minutes then hit it with 12V and that kicked it loose (it's a 6V system).
Now working and just getting the WD40 out of the system.

Thanks for your replies.

Good work, glad it wasn't f....ed.

Anaconda has these on special at the moment $249 and that includes the carry bag, shower attachment and bladder.
That's cheap, most places are $399 for the unit alone, bag $50, shower $20
