PRESSURE SEnSITIVE WATER PUMP
Setting up the Water System
Check out Procedure
Examine the installation. Ensure all pipes and
connections are fitted and tight, there are
no kinks in the hoses and the battery is fully
charged (or a 12V DC converter of at least 10
amp capacity if used).
Initial operation
1. Fill the tank with water.
2. Open all taps - hot and cold.
3. Switch pump to ‘ON’ position. Allow time
for the hot water tank to fill. Shut off each
tap as flow becomes steady and free of air.
Shutting off the last tap should cause the
pump to shut off.
To check for leaks a positive pressure check
with a pressure gauge is recommended. A
drop in pressure with all taps off will indicate a
leak in the system. Correct all leaks, no matter
how small.
Ultraflow outdoor Shower
The outdoor shower connects directly to the
Ultraflow Filter Housing beside the pump
socket. The supplied connector with quick
fittings ensures an easy installation. Please note
that the shower has no electrical connections
and works only in a pressurised system.
Ultraflow Waterline
The Ultraflow Waterline is a 15 metre ‘food
quality’ hose pipe. It comes complete with
fittings and a special pressure reducing adaptor
which allows you to fill the fresh water tank
from a mains water supply. Please note this
system is not designed as a permanent feed to
the motor caravans fresh water system.
Also supplied with your motorhome is a
waterline hose with a submersible pump to
draw water from a container.
Ultraflow Replacement filter
The Ultraflow Filter Cartridge
is a high quality water filter
which removes unpleasant
tastes and odours from the
caravan’s stored water. For
the occasional caravanner, the
cartridge should be replaced
at the start of each season.
For the regular caravanner we
recommend to replace the filter after 35 days
of use.

WATER SYSTEM WInTERISATIon
Motorhomes may be in use during the winter
but when not in use, even for short periods,
the water system must be completely drained.
One night of freezing temperatures is all that
is required to cause expensive permanent
damage to water system components. Frost
damage may not be claimed under the
motorhome warranty.
To drain the system, proceed as follows:
1. Park the motorhome on level ground.
2. Ensure that the gas and electric supplies
are turned off.
3. Open all hot and cold taps.
4. Drain fresh water tank as described on
page 9-1.
5. Drain waste water tank as described on
page 9-1.

approximately 5 minutes.
6. Leave all taps open, see Water Heater
instructions for winterisation of the heater.
