The Whale Surge Damper is designed to help provide a smoother and quieter water supply in caravan, campervan and motorhome pressurised water systems.
Installed into the water system, the surge damper helps absorb pressure fluctuations created as the water pump operates. This can reduce pump pulsing, pressure surges and unwanted noise through the pipework, helping provide a more consistent flow of water at taps and showers.
Featuring 12mm push-fit connections, the unit can be incorporated directly into compatible 12mm semi-rigid water pipe systems without the need for additional adaptors.
Compact and straightforward to install, the Whale Surge Damper is a useful addition to pumped water systems where pressure fluctuations or frequent pump cycling are noticeable.
A surge damper helps absorb pressure fluctuations created by the water pump. This provides a smoother water supply and can reduce pulsing at taps and showers.
They perform a similar role within a pressurised water system by helping to smooth pressure changes. A surge damper is particularly useful for reducing pulsation and pressure fluctuations caused by the operation of the pump.
It can help reduce rapid or frequent pump cycling caused by small pressure fluctuations. However, persistent cycling when no water is being used can also indicate a leak, pressure-switch problem or another fault within the water system.
The surge damper is normally installed in the pressurised side of the water system after the pump. Always follow the appropriate installation guidance for your particular Whale water system.
It can help. By absorbing pressure fluctuations and reducing pulsation, a surge damper can reduce some of the noise and vibration transmitted through the water pipework.
