- Compatible with both the Truma Ultraflow Filter Housing and the Ultraflow Compact Housing.
- Total length of 900mm for flexible positioning.
- Trigger-type connection for secure and easy attachment.
Setup and Installation
- Prepare Water Container: Ensure your external water container (e.g., Aquaroll, Waterhog) is filled with clean fresh water.
- Connect to Vehicle: Locate the Truma Ultraflow inlet on your caravan or motorhome. Insert the white trigger-type connector of the pump assembly into the inlet. Push firmly until it clicks into place, ensuring a secure connection.
- Submerge Pump: Place the submersible pump end of the assembly into the external water container. Ensure the pump is fully submerged in water before activating. Important: Do not run the pump out of water as this may cause damage.
- Check Connections: Verify all connections are secure and there are no visible leaks.
Operating Instructions
Once the Truma Ultraflow Pump Assembly is correctly installed and the pump is submerged:
- Activate Water Pump: Turn on the internal water pump switch inside your caravan or motorhome. This will activate the Truma Ultraflow pump.
- Fill System: Open a tap inside your vehicle to allow water to flow through the system. Air may initially be expelled from the tap before a steady stream of water appears.
- Monitor Water Level: Regularly check the water level in your external container to prevent the pump from running dry.
- Deactivate Pump: When you have finished drawing water, turn off the internal water pump switch.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your Truma Ultraflow Pump Assembly:
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the pump and hose with fresh water. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the components.
- Winterization: Before winter storage, ensure all water is drained from the pump assembly and the vehicle's water system to prevent freezing damage.
- Storage: Store the pump assembly in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
- Inspection: Before each use, inspect the hose for kinks, cracks, or damage. Check the electrical connections for corrosion or wear.
