When using the Winter Kit the blanking plug
provided will be fitted to the housing not
being used.
Clean the water system at the start and
end of the season with sterilising fluid
(see notes under sterilising).
If the pump fails to deliver water the most
likely cause will be air in the system. Switch
off the pump and shake the pump assembly
in the water. Then switch on again.
STERILISING
1. When cleaning the water system at the
start or the end of the season it is
advisable to use a sterilising fluid e.g.
Chempo SDP or similar.
2. Flush the system thoroughly to remove
the effective fluid traces.
3. After sterilising the system at the start of
the season it is recommended that a new
filter cartridge (if fitted) should be fitted.
(Not standard).
WHALE FRESH WATER INLET
(IF FITTED)
The hose and carbon filter assembly
supplied with your caravan, is to be
connected to the water inlet on the exterior
of your caravan, to draw water from an
external container.
Place carbon filter fitted to hose, into water
container.
Insert plug into wall socket and close lid to
lock plug in place (see image)
Adjust dust cover over water container
opening. Please note dust cover cover
should not be secured to water container as
air must be allowed to enter container to
replace water being drawn out.
Ensure drain valves in water system and
at water heater are in closed positions
(See page 44 for more detail)
Open one hot tap (kitchen sink) within
caravan.
With 12V power available to appliances
within the caravan, switch the pump
‘ON/OFF’ switch on the control panel to the
‘ON’ position.
Water will flow from the open tap after filling
the water heater. This can take a few
minutes if the heater is empty. The water
may be at first grey in colour which is quite
normal, the discolouration is due to harmless
media being flushed out of the new filter
cartridge.
When water is flowing smoothly close hot
tap and open cold tap to expel any
remaining air in the system. Repeat this at
each tap / shower mixer in the caravan.
The system is now ready for use. Hose can
be inserted into plug groove (see image) to
keep filter off ground while refilling water
container. Keep socket lid shut at all times
when plug is removed.
When the caravan is left unattended or water
supply has been allowed to empty, to
prevent the pump running continuously
(which can cause pump damage) turn the
pump switch on the control panel to the
‘OFF’ position.
A pack containing two replacement filters
(product code WF3000) is available.
Filters will need to be replaced after filtering
3000 litres (approx. 33 days of normal use).
These filters are not designed for removing
bacteria and should not be used on water
supplies of an unknown bacterial quality.
Take care to retain the o-ring seal when
replacing filters.
POSIFLO FRESH WATER PUMP
(CAMEO)
Fresh water is supplied to the caravan on
some models by the Posiflo pump.
The pump is designed for continuous use
and is self priming.
