2. PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

The Whale High Capacity Freshwater Kit is designed to provide freshwater in recreational vessels with up to 8 water outlets on board. The system consists of two automatic pressure pumps, independently controlled by two external pressure switches. A primary pump provides smooth consistent flow on activation. When a higher flow rate is required, the secondary pump will automatically activate to provide the additional capacity, and turn off when no longer required. The 2 litre pressurised accumulator tank ensures a smooth transition between single and dual pump activation, and helps to prevent water hammer.

Read the following carefully before installation

WARNING: Please note that incorrect installation may invalidate warranty.

Figure 2 Typical Installation in Marine System (illustration for guidance purposes only)

Overall dimensions of the High Capacity Freshwater Kit are shown in Figure 3. The High Capacity Freshwater Kit uses 34'' (19mm) barb connections on the inlet and outlet (Figure 5a, 5b and 5c). The outlet should be connected into the freshwater system at a central location.

Mounting Instructions

Step 1 Locate in a dry position with adequate ventilation and no more than 3m (9ft) above the water tank. In normal use, ensure the kit cannot be submerged in water. Step 2 Ensure the kit is mounted free of obstacles and is accessible for maintenance.

Step 3 Use stainless steel screws and washers to secure the kit to a solid surface. Four screws and washers can be used through the centre of the feet (see Fig. 4a), or 8 screws and washers as shown in Fig 4b.

DO NOT screw directly to the hull – MUST be mounted to a bulkhead or additional board.

Electrical Wiring

The unit must be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with applicable electrical standards.

WARNING: 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.

Switch off the power prior to making connections. Suggested wiring information shown in Figure 6 is given as a guide only. For full information, refer to the relevant ISO regulations for marine applications and wiring gauges, connectors and fuse protection.

Instructions for Use

1) Ensure that the kit installation is tested thoroughly before use.
2) Once installed into the freshwater system, ensure the water tank is full and open all outlets.
3) Connect power to the kit and allow to run to remove air from the system.
4) Once air has been removed from the freshwater system, close all the outlets.
The secondary pump should turn off first (at 2.0 bar), followed by the primary pump (3.0 bar).
5) Check the priming of both pumps (both strainers should be filled with water).
6) Check the start and stop of both pumps. This should be automatic by opening and closing outlets.
7) The secondary pump will only activate with several outlets open.
8) Check for any leaks or loose connections.

8. MAINTENANCE

The High Capacity Freshwater Kit is designed to only require minimal maintenance.

WARNING: Ensure that the kit is disconnected from the electrics and system is fully drained prior to maintenance.

For optimal performance, ensure the pumps are clear of debris. Filter strainer meshes must be regularly removed and cleaned.

Annual Checks

• The vessel's plumbing and electrical systems must be checked at least annually for leaks and obstructions.
• Check accumulator tank pressure annually, as shown in Figure 7. Use hand or foot pump to increase pressure if required.

1. TROUBLE SHOOTING

Problem Possible Cause Potential Solution
Primary and/or secondary pump does not run	No power to pump Check power supply. Check leads and clean connections.
	Fuse has blown Replace fuse.
	Pump is faulty Replace pump.
	Pressure switch is faulty	Check operation and replace if faulty (AK1314 for Low Pressure Switch and AK1315 for High Pressure Switch)
Pump(s) runs but no water appears	No water getting to pump / blockage in pipework	Check the water tank is not empty. Check strainers are not blocked. Check all connections from tank to inlet of the kit are secure – air leaks will prevent prime.
	Pressure relief valve too low	Check water supply level and pressure relief settings are appropriate for the system.
	Water leaking at outlet side of pump	Check pipework/fi ttings for leaks and repair. Check system drain plugs are closed.
Pump(s) runs but will not switch off	Water leaking at outlet side of pump	Check pipework/fi ttings for leaks and repair. Check system drain plugs are closed.
	Insufficient water getting to pump Check water supply levels.
Problem Possible Cause Potential Solution
Pump cycles on and off periodically when all the taps are closed	Water leaking at outlet side of pump	Check pipework/fi ttings for leaks and repair. Check system drain plugs are closed. System pressure relief valve too low.
Noisy operation	Pumps drawing air See 'no water getting to pump' (above).
	Noise created by vibration	Check kit is secured to a solid surface. Check frame is not in contact with hard surfaces. Located away from interfering surfaces. Check pipework is securely supported.
Low flow	Power supply to pumps	Check power supply to pumps uses the correct wire gauge in line with relevant standards, to give full voltage at pumps.Check battery is not discharged.
	Pipework/connections crushed due to over tightened hose clips	Replace damaged connections. Ensure no kinks or tight bends in pipework.
	Pumps too far from water tank Pump is best situated beside water tank.
	Water leaking at outlet side of pumps	Check pipework/fi ttings for leaks and repair. Check system drain plugs are closed.
	Pump strainer clogged	Remove clear lid, rinse and replace to main strainer body (retain strainer mesh on lid).
	One pump is not functioning	Check power supply and electrical connection to pump.Check pressure switch is functioning. Replace pump (AK2415: 12ltr, 12V d.c.; AK2425: 12ltr, 24V d.c.; AK3615: 18ltr, 12V d.c.; AK3625: 18ltr, 24V d.c.) or pressure switch (AK1314 for Low Pressure Switch and AK1315 for High Pressure Switch).
Flow is not smooth	Accumulator tank pressure is low	Check pressure in tank using the valve and a pressure gauge. If required, infl ate to 2.2bar.

10. WINTERIZING

If water is allowed to freeze in the system, serious damage to the pipework and pump may occur. Failures of this type will invalidate the warranty. To best avoid this damage, completely drain the water system.

• Drain the tank either using the pumps or a drain valve.
• Open all faucets (including drain valve) and allow the pumps to purge all water from the system.
• Remember to leave all faucets including showers open (excluding the Whale Twist® Deck Shower, which must remain closed) to avoid any damage.
