If its whirring ALL the time, then most likely the switch is faulty, and its just letting the water out once its lifted to open the valve.

The switch is more than likely in your tap
And the pump is fine

You can just buy the micro switch
Take tap down to local caravan shop or have a look on eBay for switch
Take tap out and see what type of micro switch it is
Will be less than £10
