WHALE AQUA-SOURCETo use an on-line water system (“Aqua-Source”) with an inboard tank.Note: It is advisable to check the system forleaks on the first occasion using an on-linewater system as they work at slightly higherpressure than pump systems.The internal and external pumps should NOTbe switched on when an on-line pressuresystem is plugged into the caravan.WHALE SUPERSUB SYSTEMThe separate plug-in pump assemblyconsists of a Whale Supersub pump, hoseand plug. The plug provides connection ofboth water supply to the caravan and 12V dcelectric power to the pump. A dust cover isfitted to the connecting dual hose to preventcontaminants falling into the water container.The Whale Supersub pump is a completelysealed unit designed for intermittent use. It isNOT self-priming and therefore to ensureproper performance, the pump MUSTALWAYS be fully submersed in waterBEFORE plugging into the wall socket.Initial connection to fresh water supply1. Fill the fresh water container and place italongside the Whale wall socket locatedin the offside external wall of the caravan.2. Ensure the pump isolator switch at thecontrol panel inside the caravan isswitched OFF.3. Open the ‘hot’ kitchen tap. Ensure allother taps are closed.4. Place the Whale Supersub pump into thewater container outside the caravan,taking care to ensure the pump reachesthe bottom of the container.5. Lift the lid of the Whale wall socket and fitthe pump assembly plug into the socket.Ensure it is pressed in fully.6. Adjust the dust cover to fit over theopening in the water container to keepcontaminants out.7. Switch ON the pump isolator switch atthe control panel inside the caravan.8. Wait until water flows freely from the ‘hot’Serviceskitchen tap. Allow to flow for a few moreseconds to ensure release of any trappedair in the water system, then turn the tapoff.Repeat the same procedure with the ‘cold’kitchen tap.After turning off the taps, check ‘pumprunning’ light at the control panel.If light is OFF — the system is ready for use.If the system has been drained, the aboveprocedure MUST be repeated EVERY timethe water container is filled.Leave the pump isolator switch at the controlpanel ON.Once a tap is turned on, the pump isactivated automatically by a micro switch.Fault Finding1. Pump runs very noisy but does notpump water. Likely to occur after watercontainer has been refilled. Pump is airlocked. Cure: unplug from socket allowingpump to flood, and reconnect by pluggingin again. The correct sequence whenrefilling the container is to unplug, replacepump in container, then reconnect.2. Pump does not run at all. If not due toblown fuse or faulty connections, thenmost likely cause is excessive continuousrunning. Cure: replace pump.Never allow the pump to run dry.23
