WATER SYSTEM
On Arrival at the campsite /
Priming the system
• Ensure that the external water container
is full. An umbilical hose with baffle is
supplied with your caravan to connect
between the inlet and aqua roll or similar
container.
• Close all of the taps (kitchen sink, bathroom,
shower) except one, which should be open
in the hot position.
• Ensure that the water heater drain valve is
closed (move the Yellow handle on the floor
near the water heater to a
horizontal position).
• Switch the pump on using the button on the
control panel. Water will flow through the
open tap after a short time. This tap can then
be moved to the cold position and again
after a short time water will flow.
• Repeat the procedure at each tap, including
the external shower point
(model specific)
• When using a mains water connection
the pump will still need to be switched on to
supply water to the water heater,
taps and shower.
• If a mains water connection is used, please
ensure this is a Whale Watermaster mains
water hook-up, which has a built in pressure
reducing valve.
• To drain / winterise the system please see
separate details later in this handbook.
