WHALE AQUA-SOURCE
To use an on-line water system (“Aqua-
Source”) with an inboard tank.
Note: It is advisable to check the system for
leaks on the first occasion using an on-line
water system as they work at slightly higher
pressure than pump systems.
The internal and external pumps should
NOT
be switched on when an on-line pressure
system is plugged into the caravan.
WHALE SUPERSUB SYSTEM
The separate plug-in pump assembly
consists of a Whale Supersub pump, hose
and plug. The plug provides connection of
both water supply to the caravan and 12V dc
electric power to the pump. A dust cover is
fitted to the connecting dual hose to prevent
contaminants falling into the water container.
The Whale Supersub pump is a completely
sealed unit designed for intermittent use. It is
NOT self-priming and therefore to ensure
proper performance, the pump MUST
ALWAYS be fully submersed in water
BEFORE plugging into the wall socket.
Initial connection to fresh water supply
1. Fill the fresh water container and place it
alongside the Whale wall socket located
in the offside external wall of the caravan.
2. Ensure the pump isolator switch at the
control panel inside the caravan is
switched OFF.
3. Open the ‘hot’ kitchen tap. Ensure all
other taps are closed.
4. Place the Whale Supersub pump into the
water container outside the caravan,
taking care to ensure the pump reaches
the bottom of the container.
5. Lift the lid of the Whale wall socket and fit
the pump assembly plug into the socket.
Ensure it is pressed in fully.
6. Adjust the dust cover to fit over the
opening in the water container to keep
contaminants out.
7. Switch ON the pump isolator switch at
the control panel inside the caravan.
8. Wait until water flows freely from the ‘hot’
kitchen tap. Allow to flow for a few more
seconds to ensure release of any trapped
air in the water system, then turn the tap
off.
Repeat the same procedure with the ‘cold’
kitchen tap.
After turning off the taps, check ‘pump
running’ light at the control panel.
If light is OFF — the system is ready for use.
If the system has been drained, the above
procedure MUST be repeated EVERY time
the water container is filled.
Leave the pump isolator switch at the control
panel ON.
Once a tap is turned on, the pump is
activated automatically by a micro switch.
Fault Finding
1. Pump runs very noisy but does not
pump water.
Likely to occur after water
container has been refilled. Pump is air
locked. Cure: unplug from socket allowing
pump to flood, and reconnect by plugging
in again. The correct sequence when
refilling the container is to unplug, replace
pump in container, then reconnect.
2.
Pump does not run at all. If not due to
blown fuse or faulty connections, then
most likely cause is excessive continuous
running. Cure: replace pump.
Never allow the pump to run dry.
