1. Ensure the system, including the heater, is
full of water and all taps are closed.
2. Tighten the adjusting screw clockwise until
the pump comes on. (For integral socket based
pressure switches, first loosen the pressure
switch locknut in an anti-clockwise direction).
3. Open any tap until you have a smooth flow
of water, then close the tap. You should hear
the pump running and the pump running light,
if fitted, will be on.
4. Return to the pressure switch and slowly
turn the pressure switch adjustment screw
anti-clockwise until the pump has stopped.
Turn the screw a further half turn (180
degrees) anti-clockwise.
5. Check for correct operation by opening and
closing all taps individually. The pump should
turn on when the cold tap is opened and switch
off immediately when the cold tap is closed.
There will normally be some
pulsations at lower flows. The hot side
may take a few seconds to react (both
on and off) due to cushioning effect in
the water heater.
For integral socket-based pressure switches,
carefully tighten the locknut until it is in the
correct position keeping the adjustment screw
in position.
If the setting of the pressure switch is still not
correct you may experience one of the following
issues:
Problem:
Pump running continuously, even
with tap closed. If undiscovered, could result
in pump failure and flat battery. Most likely
causes are that present voltage is significantly
lower when last adjusted, or water container
is empty.
Solution:
Re-adjust switch or refill container.
Problem:
Pump does not run at all. If not due
to a blown fuse or faulty connections, then
most likely cause is excessive running (see
above)
Solution:
Replace pump and re-adjust switch.
Problem:
Pump runs intermittently ON, OFF
etc. Seen as pulsing flow from tap, or as
inability to set constant water temperature,
water goes hot, cold, hot, cold instead of
constant warm. Most likely cause is that
present voltage is higher than when last
adjusted.
Solution:
Re-adjust pressure switch. If problem
persists add a Whale Surge Damper (WS7205.)
Problem:
Pump runs very noisily but does
not pump water. Likely to occur after water
container has been refilled. Pump is air-locked
and is fighting to get air out and water in.
Solution:
Unplug from the socket, allowing
pump to flood, and reconnect by plugging in
again. The correct sequence when refilling the
container is to unplug, put pump into container,
then reconnect.
If after following these procedures the
system continues to pulse when all
taps are closed there may be a leak in
the system.

Motorhomes are often used all year round
but when they are not in use, even for short
periods, they should be drained down. One
night in freezing temperatures is all that is
required for expensive and permanent damage
to occur to water system components.
Follow this procedure to prevent any damage:
1. Open all taps; lift the mixer tap levers into
the central position to allow both the hot
and cold water to drain.
2. Remove the shower head; unscrew by
