Fresh Water Pump

A Whale Watermaster onboard pump is fitted
to your vehicle. It will be located under the
hatch in the floor and is accessible through the
fresh water tank hatch.

Operating Instructions

WHALE TANKFILL SYSTEM
The onboard tank can be filled using either a
Whale submersible pump or a whale Aquasource
mains hook-up. The Whale watermaster pump
is used to supply a pressurised water system to
the taps and shower.

Filling the onboard tank.

The onboard tank is filled in one of two ways,
either:

1. Using the Aquasource as supplied with the

van.

(When a drinking water tap is available within
approximately 7 metres of the vehicle.)

• Lift the lid of the external Whale Watermaster

socket.

• Insert the Whale Aquasource plug firmly

into the socket, and close the lid down
[approximately 90º] until it locates and
locks the Whale Aquasource plug into place.

• Connect the other end of the Whale

Aquasource to the water tap, and turn it on,
making sure there are no kinks in the pipe
run.

• Turn off the tap when water flows from the

overflow underneath, indicating that the
onboard tank is full.

To remove the Whale Aquasource

• Disconnect the Whale Aquasource from the

tap.

• Lift the lid of the Whale Watermaster socket,

to the vertical position.

• Depress the two white location buttons on

the Whale Watermaster plug, and remove
from the socket.

• Close the lid of the Whale Watermaster

socket, until it is located into position.

• Stow away the Whale Aquasource in a clean

chemical-free area.

2. Using the Whale Submersible Pump

When a drinking water tap is not at hand.

• Fill a suitable water container, and place

below the Whale Watermaster socket.

• Place the Whale Submersible pump into the

water container; the pump should reach the
bottom of the container.

• Lift the lid of the external Whale Watermaster

socket.

• Insert the Whale Submersible pump plug

firmly into the socket, and close the lid down
[approximately 90º] until it locates and
locks the Whale Submersible pump plug into
place.

• The pump will then start automatically to fill

the onboard tank.

• When the tank is full, the pump will turn off.

Please note that when the water

container is empty the pump will
continue to run and will eventually
burn out.

To remove the Whale Submersible pump.

• Lift the lid of the Whale Watermaster socket,

to the vertical position.

• Remove the Whale Submersible pump plug

from the Whale Watermaster socket.

• Close the lid of the Whale Watermaster

socket, until it is located into position.

Stow away the Whale Submersible

pump in a clean chemical-free area,
shaking any loose water from the unit
first.

It should be noted that as the container volume
is likely to be less than that of the onboard
tank, it is advisable to remain in attendance
when  filling  the  tank,  as  the  life  of  the  pump
will be drastically reduced if allowed to run dry.
To fill an onboard tank to the brim you normally
have to repeat this procedure several times:
To  continue  the  filling  of  the  onboard  tank
should the water container volume be less than
that of the onboard tank.
Repeat the operations described immediately
above. Use the Whale Submersible pump,
removing the pump from the Watermaster
socket each time.

Using the Whale Watermaster Pressure Pump

The water system can be primed as follows,
after the onboard water tank has been filled.

• Switch on the ancillary power supply to the

pump at the main panel.

• Open one hot tap, e.g. kitchen sink.
• Water will flow from the open tap after

filling the water heater. This could take a few
minutes if the water heater was empty.

• When the water is flowing smoothly, close

the hot tap and open the cold tap to expel
any air left in the plumbing system. Close
this tap when the water runs smoothly.

• The system is now ready for use.
• Repeat with all taps to expel any air in the
