To remove the Whale submersible pump.
• Lift the lid of the Whale Watermaster socket,
to the vertical position.
• Remove the Whale Submersible pump plug
from the Whale Watermaster socket.
• Close the lid of the Whale Watermaster
socket, until it is located into position.
Stow away the Whale Submersible pump
!
in a clean chemical free area, shaking
any loose water from the unit first.
It should be noted that as the container volume
is likely to be less than that of the onboard
tank, it is advisable to remain in attendance,
when filling the tank, as the life of the pump
will be drastically reduced if allowed to run dry.
To fill an onboard tank to the brim you normally
have to repeat this procedure several times.
To continue the filling of the onboard tank
should the water container volume be less than
that of the onboard tank.
CONNECTION OF SERVICES- The Water System
Repeat the operations under the heading 2.
Using the Whale Submersible pump, removing
the pump from the Watermaster socket each
time.
Using the Whale Watermaster Pressure Pump
The water system can be primed as follows,
after the onboard water tank has been filled.
• Switch on the ancillary power supply to the
pump at the main panel.
• Open one hot tap e.g. Kitchen sink.
• Water will flow from the open tap after
filling the water heater. This could take a few
minutes if the water heater was empty.
• When the water is flowing smoothly, close
the hot tap and open the cold tap to expel
any air left in the plumbing system, close
this tap when the water runs smoothly.
• The system is now ready for use.
• Repeat with all taps to expel any air in the
system
• Remove the shower head and repeat the
above actions to dispel any air from that as
well.
Hints.
• Should the motorhome be left unattended,
or when the water supply has been allowed
to empty, switch off the power supply at the
pump at the main panel to avoid the pump
running continuously.
• Should the flow rate from the taps be
reduced at any time, check the grit filter at
the side of the pump, and clean as necessary.
Cleaning the Grit Filter
Switch off the power supply to the
pump, and drain the water system.
