14 b. THE PEGASUS GT65 WATER
SYSTEM
Water Supply
All models are supplied with a 12 volt submersible
pump, controlled by a pressure switch. The water inlet is
located in the off-side exterior wall, protected by a lift up
lid. This pump is designed to make easier, the connection
of an outside water supply to the caravan system.
The Whale Water-master comprises of a wall socket, plug
complete with hose and submersible pump. The plug and
socket combine both the water and electric connections.
Designed for pumping fresh water into the caravan, the
Whale Water-master is also capable of supplying water
to a water heater.
Operation
•Open one cold tap (i.e. the kitchen sink)
•Place the pump into a water container
Insert the plug into the wall socket and close the lid to
lock plug in place.
•Adjust the dust cover over opening in container (please
note dust cover should not be secured to water container
as air must be allowed to enter the container to replace
the water being pumped out.)
•Switch on 12 volt supply at main panel (isolator switch)
•Water will ow from the open tap expelling any trapped
air in a few seconds.
•Turn off the tap; the system is now ready for use.
Please note: the pump hose can be inserted into the
groove on the plug to keep pump off the ground while
refuelling the water container
Removing the plug
•Switch off the 12v supply at the control panel (isolator
switch)
•Pull out plug from socket using hand grip
•Shut the lid.
The submersible pump can be run for quite long
periods when in water, but it is recommended
that running periods should be restricted to a
maximum of 15 minutes.
•Do not run pump without water.
• Do not use the pump in water temperatures above
40°C (100°F)
•It is best to stand the pump vertically in the tank. Micro-
switch or phosphor bronze contacts can be removed for
inspection or replacement.
• The pressure switch is sensitive to drops in battery
voltage. As the voltage falls, should the unit need
adjustment, turn anticlockwise.
