2. Using the Whale Submersible Pump.
When a drinking water tap is not at hand.
• Fill a suitable water container, and place
below the Whale Watermaster socket.
• Place the Whale Submersible pump into the
water container; the pump should reach the
bottom of the container.
• Lift the lid of the external Whale Watermaster
socket.
• Insert the Whale Submersible pump plug
rmly into the socket, and close the lid down

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 rst.
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 lling the tank, as the life of the pump
will be drastically reduced if allowed to run dry.
To ll an onboard tank to the brim you normally
have to repeat this procedure several times.
To continue the lling of the onboard tank
should the water container volume be less than
that of the onboard tank.
Repeat the operations under the heading 2.

minutes if the water heater was empty.
• When the water is owing 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 ow rate from the taps be
reduced at any time, check the grit lter at
the side of the pump, and clean as necessary.
Cleaning the Grit Filter
