5. Configuració i instal·lació
Follow these steps for proper installation of your WASSERMANN RV Water Pressure Pump:
- Muntatge: Secure the pump to a solid, flat surface using appropriate fasteners. The rubber base helps reduce vibration and noise. Ensure the pump is mounted in a location that allows for easy access for maintenance and inspection.
- Strainer Installation: Firmly tighten the included 50-mesh strainer to the pump's inlet port (1/2" NPTF). This prevents debris from entering and damaging the pump.
- Connexió de la mànega: Install the appropriate barbed hose adapter (1/2" NPTM) onto the pump's threaded ports. Connect your water inlet hose to the strainer side and the outlet hose to the other port. Use hose clamps to secure all connections to prevent leaks.
- Connexió d'alimentació: Connect the pump to a 12V DC power source. The red wire is positive (+), and the black wire is negative (-). Ensure correct polarity. The pump can be powered by a 12V battery or connected to a cigarette lighter socket in an RV/camper (adapter not included).
- Cebament: The pump is self-priming. Once all connections are secure and the power is supplied, open a faucet in your water system to allow air to escape. The pump will draw water and prime itself.

6. Funcionament
The WASSERMANN 3WDP4-45-12V pump features an automatic pressure switch for convenient operation:
- Funcionament automàtic: The pump will automatically start when a tap or fixture is opened, causing a drop in system pressure. It will stop when all taps are closed and the system pressure reaches 45 PSI.
- Ajust de pressió: The pump's pressure switch is factory-set to 45 PSI. If adjustment is needed, carefully follow these steps:
- Desconnecteu l'alimentació de la bomba.
- Unscrew the screws on the upper cover of the pressure switch.
- Use a small flat-head screwdriver to adjust the pressure regulator needle. Turning clockwise increases the pressure, and turning counter-clockwise decreases it. Make small adjustments and test the pump's operation.
- Replace the cover and secure the screws.
