Introduction

The VETUS GWDS allows wastewater from the washbasin, shower, dishwasher, air conditioner etc. to be pumped away by one piece of equipment. The equipment is not designed for industrial use.

NOTE

The VETUS GWDS is not suitable for discharging faeces or toilet paper! Make sure that no large objects can get into the pump. This could cause damage! Install a shower drain with filter plate. Make sure that rubber gloves are always available on board.

 Working

When the water level in the container reaches a set level the motor will be started by a signal from the built-in float switch and the water will be pumped out.

Installation

General

  • Position the GWDS behind a wall or under a floor.
  • Make sure that the GWDS always remains accessible by fitting a hatch in the wall or floor.
  • Always tighten all hose connections with good-quality hose clamps!
  • The VETUS GWDS is not fitted with a filter basket. You should therefore always install a strainer in every pipe leading to the GWDS.
  • Attach the 2 supplied fitting lugs (J) with the screws (I) on the bottom of the container.
  • Use the 2 fitting lugs to fit the GWDS.

Preferably position the GWDS amidships and lengthwise in the ship.

The GWDS is guaranteed to work correctly at angles up to 10˚ from fore to aft and 20˚ athwartships.

Electrical connections

  • Check that the voltage given on the type plate on the motor is the same as the voltage on the board.
  • se batteries with sufficient power to guarantee that the GWDS will work correctly.
  • Connect the power supply as shown in the wiring diagram.
  • Fit a switch and a fuse in the (‘+’) wire.
  • Use wires with a minimum cross-section of 6 mm2 (for 12 V) or 4 mm2 (for 24 V).

Taking into service

Once the installation has been completed the equipment which is connected to the GWDS can be taken into use one after the other.

  • Check that all connections are tight.
  • Rinse the sink. The GWDS will start automatically and pump for between 10 and 30 seconds depending on the quantity of water used for flushing. If the pump works for longer than 35 seconds check whether there is a kink in the drain hose or the air vent is blocked.

NOTE

Small leaks, such as a dripping tap in a washbasin, can cause the GWDS to pump unnecessarily!

Use
After installation all equipment which is connected to the GWDS will function in the normal way.

NOTE

Never use the GWDS in combination with an extra powerful hydromassage shower (yield more than 15 litres per minute).

During periods of frost (winter), you should take the following precautions:

  • Switch off the power supply.
  • Drain the pipes.
  • Pour around 1 litre of anti-freeze in the GWDS container, for exam-ple through a connected sink.
  • Anti-freeze is poisonous. Never pour anti-freeze into the open water.

Maintenance

In order to prevent chalk deposits from building up in the pump these should be removed regularly as follows:

  • Switch off the power.
  • Pour around 1 litre of vinegar or descaler in the sink. Add water.
  • Switch the power back on.
  • Rinse the sink.

How often the chalk needs to be removed depends on the hardness of the water.

Dismantling

  • Switch off the power.
  • Drain the drainpipe thoroughly.
  • Disconnect all supply and drain pipes.

If the lid of the GWDS has been opened moisten the rubber seal with liquid soap or detergent before resealing it.
