Initial connection to fresh water supply
1. Fill the fresh water container and place it
alongside the wall socket located in the
offside external wall of the caravan.
2. Ensure the pump isolator switch at the
control panel inside the caravan is
switched off.
3. Open the ‘hot’ kitchen tap. Ensure all
other taps are closed.
4. Place the pump into the water container
outside the caravan, taking care to
ensure the pump reaches the bottom of
the container.
5. Lift the lid of the wall socket and fit the
pump assembly plug into the socket.
Ensure it is pressed in fully.
6. Adjust the dust cover to fit over the
opening in the water container to keep
contaminants out.
7. Switch on the pump isolator switch at the
control panel inside the caravan.
8. Wait until water flows freely from the ‘hot’
kitchen tap. Allow to flow for a few more
seconds to ensure release of any trapped
air in the water system, then turn the tap
off.
Repeat the same procedure with the ‘cold’
kitchen tap.
If the system has been drained, the above
procedure MUST be repeated EVERY time
the water container is filled.
Switch on the pump isolator at the control
panel.
Once it has been properly connected, and a
tap is turned on, the pump is activated
automatically by a pressure switch.
Fault Finding
1.
Pump runs very noisy but does not pump
water
. Likely to occur after water
container has been refilled. Pump is air
locked.
Cure
: unplug from socket
allowing pump to flood, and reconnect by
plugging in again. The correct sequence
when refilling the container is to unplug,
replace pump in container, then
reconnect.
2.
Pump fails to deliver water.
The most
likely cause will be air in the system. To
remedy this, switch off the pump and
shake the pump assembly in the water.
Then switch on again. Alternatively, make
sure the assembly is positioned fully into
the housing.
3.
Pump does not run at all
. If not due to
blown fuse or faulty connections, then
most likely cause is excessive continuous
running.
Cure
: replace pump.
Never allow the pump to run dry.
Never allow the pump to run continuously
for more than 15 minutes.
Note:
When refilling the water container, the
pump assembly may be left plugged into the
wall socket so that the pump can be kept off
the ground by inserting the hose into the
groove on the underside of the plug. But, the
pump assembly MUST be unplugged
BEFORE replacing the pump into the refilled
water container.
STERILISING
When cleaning the water system at the start
or the end of the season, it is advisable to
use the sterilising fluid, e.g. Milton 2,
Chempro SDP or similar. It is recommended
that for this operation you use any empty
filter body as the fluid reduces the
effectiveness of a new filter.
Flush the system thoroughly to remove the
effective fluid traces.
After sterilising the system at the start of the
season it is recommended that a new filter
cartridge is fitted.
NOTES
•
Never allow the pump to run dry. Always
ensure that the pump is submerged in
the water or the life of the pump will be
reduced.
•
Before winter storage, the water system
must be completely drained.
