MIXER TAPS
The shower, hand basin and kitchen taps are
operated by raising or lowering the handle to
control the flow and moving from side to
side to blend hot and cold water to achieve
the desired temperature.
OPERATION OF THE WATER
SYSTEM
After the waste connections have been
made, all the taps have been closed, the
water heater drain tap and the hot and cold
drain taps closed. Check also that your
external container is full, and the pump
submerged.
1. Switch on the 12v master switch.
2. Turn on the pump at the switch panel.
3. The pump will run for a short time as it is
priming the system.
4. Open a cold tap and leave open until there
is a good flow of water.
5. Close that tap and carry out the same
operation on the remaining cold taps.
6. Repeat this operation with the hot taps
until there is a good flow. This will take
longer as your Truma water heater will be
filling.
WHALE ON BOARD SYSTEM
(Laser)
The external/onboard water system fitted to
the Laser range gives the user ultimate
flexibility of water supply to the caravan.
This includes a self-contained 38 litre
underslung tank.
The system can be used in five modes.
1. Supply to the caravan from an external
water container.
2. Supply to the caravan from a mains water
supply. (By use of an Ultraflow Waterline)
3. Fill the underfloor tank from an external
water container.
4. Fill the underfloor tank from a mains water
supply. (By use of an Ultraflow Waterline)
5. Supply the caravan from the underfloor tank.
OPERATION OF THE
UNDERFLOOR WATER TANK
SYSTEM
As submersible pump system see Control
Panel Instructions.
NOTE:
The external pump will automatically
switch off when the tank is full.
TANK DRAIN OPERATION
The water tank should be drained when the
vehicle is not in use or is in transit.
Simply lift the drain plug handle out from
recessed area, rotate 45º and rest on top
surface as shown in the diagram. This will
enable the tank to be drained without having
to hold the handle.
When the tank is
drained, refit the
handle by pushing
through the drain
plug, to seal the tank
from debris.
NOTE:
The tank module is connected to the
caravan water system and wiring. Please
refer to the Ultraflow instructions.
IMPORTANT - Auto change over
The lower float switch within the tank, will
automatically switch over to an external
water supply, when the tank water level
drops below the bottom float position.
MAINTENANCE
To clean and sterilise inside the water tank,
use diluted sterilising fluid and fully flush
tank with water afterwards. Ensure an
industry recommended freshwater tank
cleaner is used.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The Whale water tank is fitted with a control
module, in the unlikely event you are
experiencing problems with the system,
