with neon indicator close to the entrance
door of the caravan, in conjunction with a
tank fill function.
Before using the water system ensure that
the drain valves both in the hot and cold
circuit and adjacent to the water heater are in
the closed positions (See page 36)
The solenoid valve and twin pump system
operates in the following way:
TO USE AN EXTERNAL WATER CARRIER
TO SUPPLY THE TAPS VIA THE
EXTERNAL PUMP:
- Ensure that the external pump is connected
and suspended in the water container
- Ensure the solenoid valve is closed by
moving the solenoid/tank fill switch to the
‘OFF’ position.
- Select external pump on the control panel.
The external pump will run when the taps are
opened. If the solenoid/tank fill switch were
in the ‘ON’ position during this operation,
water would route water from the external
pump to both the taps and the internal tank.
(The internal tank would overflow via fitted
overflow pipe when full).
TO USE THE INTERNAL WATER TANK TO
SUPPLY THE TAPS:
- Check the water level gauge to confirm
water is present in the tank.
- Move the solenoid/tank fill switch to the
‘OFF’ position.
- Select internal pump on the control panel
The internal pump will run when the taps are
opened. If the solenoid valve were in the
‘ON’ (open) position whilst the internal pump
was running, pressure at the taps and
shower would be reduced.
TO FILL THE INTERNAL TANK WITH
SOLENOID VALVE FITTED
- Ensure the internal taps are closed.
- Ensure that the external pump is connected
and suspended in the water container with
water present.
- Check that the tank drain valve (located to
the right of the fresh water tank) is in the
closed position.
- With the pump selector switch on the
control panel in any position, switch the
solenoid / tank fill switch to the ‘ON’
position.
Water will flow into the tank until either the
external water container is empty, or the
internal tank overflows. Progress can be
monitored using the water level gauge on the
control panel.
TRUMA WATERLINE & WHALE
AQUASOURCE
The Waterline and Aquasource allow mains
water to be connected to the caravan in
place of the submersible pump, or inlet hose
and filter, as shown on the water system
schematics. The Whale Aquasource can only
be used with the Whale water inlet, and the
Truma Waterline can only be used with the
Truma water inlet. Both of these hoses
feature pressure reduction valves which
reduce mains water pressure to a level which
will prevent damage to the caravan water
system.
If a pressure switched system is installed
and the Aquasource is plugged in instead of
the hose and filter, the operation of the water
system is unchanged. The pump will still run
when an internal tap is opened or during a
tank filling operation.
If a microswitched twin pump system is
installed, the Waterline provides water under
pressure in place of an external pump.
This water can be directed to the internal
tank or the taps as detailed above.
When using an Aquasource system, do not
sleep or leave the vehicle unattended without
turning off the mains tap.
