Note: Pump performance will depend on the plumbing system and restrictions on outlets in your installation. Premium and High Flow models come with
connection. They can be adapted for ½" (13mm) hose by pushing on the ½" adaptors supplied with the pump. Whale's policy is one of continuous improvement and we

2. PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
To the fi tter
Check that the product is suitable for the intended application, follow these installation instructions and ensure all relevant personnel read the points listed below. Also
ensure that these operating instructions are passed on to the end user.
To the user
Read the points listed below before installation and use of equipment.
3. APPLICATION
• These pumps are designed to pump clean cold freshwater in low voltage applications such as a leisure boat or recreational vehicle.
• Submersible models designed to be run fully submerged in water, another In-Line Booster pump is designed to be run in the pipe line between the water supply and the
outlet.
• The pumps are rated for intermittent use only- maximum continuous operation should not exceed 15 minutes.
4. WARNINGS
• Ensure that a system of safe working practice is applied to installation, use and maintenance.
• Always disconnect power sources before installing or making connections.
• Wiring must comply with applicable electrical standards and include a 5 Amp automotive fuse for each pump. Improper wiring can cause a fi re resulting in injury or
death. Suggested wiring information is given as a guide only.
• Please note that incorrect installation may invalidate the warranty.
• Not suitable for petrol, low fl ash point liquids and aggressive chemicals. This pump must not be used for pumping petrol or any highly infl ammable or corrosive liquids.
• Do not use the pump in water temperatures above 40ºC (100ºF).
• For submersible pump models it is best to stand the pump vertically in the tank.
• Contact Whale® Support on 028 9127 0531 for additional advice on this product or installation.
5. INSTALLATION - ALL MODELS
1. Please note - The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for claims arising from incorrect installation, unauthorised modifi cation or misuse of this product.
2. Before installing, ensure that the system is fully drained before starting the installation. To do this open and close all outlets to expel water and air and check
that the submersible pump can reach the bottom of the water container.
SUBMERSIBLE PUMP INSTALLATION - See Fig. A
For plumbing connections see Specifi cation table above. The pump outlet MUST be higher than the inlet.
Must be installed in one of the following ways:-
Note: Where there is a long run of pipe between the pump and the faucet, it is helpful to insert a check valve (FV1227) in the pipe close to the faucet.
Step 1
Switch off the 12V d.c. supply
Step 2
Connect to an appropriate 12 or 24 Volt power supply and switch.
Step 3
• Fit the required length of hose to the pump and then fully immerse the pump in the water container.
• To avoid entry of air or water leaks it is important that all hose connections (to pump, tank, water heater and taps / faucets) are securely fastened.
• If using with a Whale In-Line Pressure Switch, (WU7207) an isolator switch must be installed to protect the pump from accidental switch on when the system is not in
use. The pressure switch must be fi tted into the pipework in close proximity to the pump and before any other fi ttings (see Fig. A).
IN-LINE INSTALLATION - See Fig. B
• For plumbing connections see Specifi cation table above
• Must be installed in one of the following ways:-
1. With a foot operated pump (Fig. B1 and Fig. B2). Position the Pump in the suction pipe between the foot pump and the water tank, not between the foot pump and
faucet.
2. In-line to boost a submersible pump (Fig. B3).
3. With a hand operated pump (Fig. B4).
4. In a pressurized system (Fig. B5).
• Where there is a long run of pipe between the pump and the faucet, it is helpful to insert a check valve (FV1227) in the pipe close to the faucet.
6. OPERATION
Priming the pump.
• When fully immersed in water Submersible pumps are primed and give instant water delivery.
• In-Line Booster pumps must be primed using either by gravity (as in Fig. B5) or operating a hand pump (Fig. B4) or foot pump (Fig. B1 and Fig. B2) until full water fl ow
from the outlet.
o Once primed the pump is ready for use and should remain primed for repeated use.
o As an additional safeguard, a Whale check valve (FV1227) can be inserted in the suction pipe. (Fig. A2 / Fig. B3) re-priming should only be
necessary when the water supply has been completely drained and the tank is refi lled.
o If using a Whale Tiptoe pump, leave the plunger in the "locked down" position whilst operating. Ensure the isolation switch is on. Open the
tap / pump should start.
