If the battery voltage is very low (8.5V-9.5V), the Watermaster® IC is designed to shut down after 

approximately 30 seconds operation to prevent the battery being drained further. Restart the system by 

turning the pump isolation switch off and back on. This can be repeated to provide a limited operating mode 

but the battery should be recharged as soon as possible.

Please note that Watermaster® IC is designed to work with the Whale® Pressure Switched Socket 

ES1001 / ES5001, and with the Whale® High Flow Watermaster® pump kit ONLY, and is not compatible with

other sockets or pump systems

For users with other Whale® or non-Whale® products, their systems may be upgraded to IC by purchase of the

Whale product codes - socket ES1001 / ES5001 and Pump & Watermaster® IC (EP1632).

Contact the technical helpline (Whale® 02891 270531) for additional advice on this product or its installation.

WARNINGS

3

This product is not designed for any other purpose than supplying water to a caravan or other 

recreational vehicle system.

Always disconnect power sources before installing or making connections.

Fire hazard. Wiring must comply with applicable electrical standards and include a properly sized fuse or 

circuit breaker. Improper wiring can cause a fire resulting in injury or death. Suggested wiring information is 

given as a guide only.

Please note that incorrect installation may invalidate the warranty.

The Watermaster® IC is designed to work in conjunction with a 5 Amp automotive fuse (see fuse box for fuse

marked ‘pump’).

There 

must be

access to the back of the socket for a once only calibration, and the socket must not be 

mounted at floor level as cables need to plug in to the bottom of the socket.

Please note that incorrect wiring will result in a blown fuse.

Please note that Watermaster® IC is designed to work in conjunction with the EP1612 Watermaster® High 

Flow 12V d.c. pump and the ES1001 / ES5001 Pressure Switched Socket ONLY and will not operate with 

any other Whale® products.

With all applications it is important that a system of safe working practice is applied to installation, use and 

maintenance.

Please note that the Watermaster® IC controller unit is enclosed to protect the electronics. Opening the unit 

will result in damage and will invalidate warranty.

Do not

use the pump in water temperatures above 40ºC (100ºF).

It is best to stand the pump vertically in the tank.
