Annual Checks<br />
• <strong>Whale</strong>® advise that the boat's plumbing system is checked annually for leaks<br />
and obstructions. Also a pump electrics check is advisable.<br />
12. TROUBLE SHOOTING<br />
Pump does <strong>no</strong>t run<br />
No power to pump<br />
Fuse has blown<br />
Check power supply<br />
Attach leads / clean connections<br />
Replace fuse<br />
Blockage in pipework Check pipework for kinks<br />
Pump runs but <strong>no</strong><br />
water appears<br />
Pump runs but will <strong>no</strong>t<br />
switch off<br />
Pump cycles on and<br />
off periodically when<br />
all the taps are closed.<br />
Noisy operation<br />
Low flow<br />
Extra delay before<br />
pump switches off<br />
No water getting to pump<br />
Pressure relief valve too low<br />
Water leaking at outlet side of<br />
pump<br />
Water leaking at outlet side of<br />
pump<br />
Check the water tank is <strong>no</strong>t empty. Check<br />
strainer is <strong>no</strong>t blocked. Check all connections<br />
from tank to inlet of pump are secure - any air<br />
leaks will prevent prime<br />
Check water supply level and pressure relief<br />
settings. Ensure these are > 5 bar<br />
Check pipework/fittings for leaks and repair.<br />
Check system drain plugs are closed<br />
Check pipework/fittings for leaks and repair.<br />
Check system drain plugs are closed<br />
Check water supply level and pressure relief<br />
Pressure relief valve set too low<br />
settings. Ensure these are > 5 bar (73 psi)<br />
Water leaking at outlet side of<br />
pump<br />
Check pipework/fittings for leaks and repair.<br />
Check system drain plugs are closed. Pressure<br />
relief valve too low<br />
Pump drawing air See '<strong>no</strong> water getting to pump' (above)<br />
Noise created by vibration<br />
Check pump is secured to solid surface. Check<br />
pump body is <strong>no</strong>t in contact with hard surfaces.<br />
Locate away from interfering surfaces. Check<br />
pipework is securely supported<br />
Bore of pipework connection too<br />
Ensure 10mm minimum bore.<br />
small<br />
Power supply to pump<br />
Pipework/connections crushed<br />
due to over tightened jubilee<br />
clips<br />
Check power supply to pump uses correct<br />
gauge wire 2.5mm²/AWG 13) to give full voltage<br />
at pump. Check battery is <strong>no</strong>t discharged<br />
Replace damaged connections<br />
Pump too far from water tank Pump is best situated beside water tank<br />
Water leaking at outlet side of<br />
pump<br />
Pump strainer clogged<br />
Accumulator Tank present on<br />
cold water circuit<br />
Check pipework/fittings for leaks and repair<br />
Check system drain plugs are closed<br />
Remove clear lid, rinse and replace to main<br />
strainer body (retain strainer mesh for lid)<br />
Remove accumulator tank<br />
NOTE- Expansion vessel on hot water circuit will delay pump deactivation<br />
13. WINTERIZING<br />
If water is allowed to freeze in the system, serious damage to the pipe work and pump<br />
may occur. To best avoid this damage, completely drain the water system.<br />
1. Drain the tank either using the pump or a drain valve.<br />
2. Open all the faucets (including drain valve) and allow pump to purge the<br />
water from the system, and then turn the pump off.
