Whale WS7205 Fresh Water Surge Damper-White

Product Information

For the latest information and advice on COVID-19, please refer to the latest updates by the UK Government. I've just had another go and I've discounted a leak at the tap as it stops dripping after 30 secs or so. Surge dampers became necessary in some caravans, because the storage water heaters like the Carver and Truma models all needed to have a small air cap in the tanks. This was to allow the water to expand when it was heated. The consequence of ths compressed air cap was that the hot water system attained a higher pressure than the cold water, and when a mixer-tap was opened ( for example in the shower) the pressure in the hot tank would push hot water out before the pressure switch on the cold would turn on. This gave alternate surges of hot and warm water rather than a steady temperature.

So if the problem does not spontaneously cure itself, beginning by swapping the Pressure Switch would make sense. And, if there are no leaks and fitting a replacement Pressure Switch and pump is ineffective, that would just leave the Whale surge damper. Installation instructions for the damper are here

I’m quite surprised that Adria would have fitted to a 2017 motorhome a water system that includes an ‘old tech’ Whale pressure switch.
