•
Note - If at any stage the user experiences less than optimum performance from the Whale® Watermaster®
IC, recalibrate the system as per steps above in Section 6.
•
To obtain efficient running and maximum pump life, ensure the following:
•
There is sufficient water in the container.
•
Maximum pumping period is not more than 15 minutes.
•
All hose connections are firm and water tight.
•
The power supply is adequate - low performance could result from a weak battery or
reduced voltage due to undersized wiring (we recommend wiring should be a minimum
thickness of 2.5mm²).
•
When replenishing the water supply, it is possible to create an air lock in the pump. As a
result, the pump will run noisily and give no discharge. To remedy, unplug from the socket
while keeping the pump submerged to dislodge the air pocket in the pump. Also shaking the
dual hose gently may dislodge the air pocket in the pump, or switch off pump at main panel,
open a tap outlet and switch pump on again at the main panel.
