- Smoothflow Control Unit
- Flow Sensor + Plumbing fittings
- 'Y' Filter
- Outer Pump Valve
This Smoothflow control unit uses a flow sensor to measure the flow rate of water into the
shower. The pump speed is controlled directly from the Smoothflow unit which uses the signals
sent from the flow sensor to adjust the pump speed proportionally. Some set-up is required to
match the pump performance to the unique characteristics of the plumbing installation.
The graph below shows the flow rate of the pump versus voltage. For each installation, the default
settings must be adjusted to match the characteristics of the plumbing installation.
The Smoothflow is designed to operate with the following Whale transformers. Model codes:-
755.53 755.83 755.85
755.07 755.120 755.121
If the transformer controlling the pump is not one of these models then contact the Whale
Technical Helpline 0845 0694253 or your Whale distributor.

When upgrading an existing pump installation we recommend that the pump is serviced. Please
replace the outer valve with the one enclosed in the kit. Ensure that the inside of the pump head
is clean.
This is an electromechanical product therefore active components must be accessible.
N
No ot te e: :This product is designed to work with 22mm plumbing from the outlet of the pump to the
waste. Change outlet plumbing if required.
Disconnect the flow switch prior to installing the flow sensor.
Place the flow sensor with the arrow pointed in the direction of the flow on the supply to the
shower, downstream of any other connections to the water supply. Where a mixer valve is used a
flow sensor is needed on both hot and cold supply's. Each sensor must be protected by a 'Y'
filter which is supplied in the kit.
Flow sensor to be mounted in a straight length of unstressed pipe.
N
No ot te e: :Do not remove, tighten or tamper with this device as this will invalidate the warranty.
W
Wa ar rn ni in ng g: :The maximum flow rate of the pump is 12ltrs/min.
If an extra flow sensor is required please order AK1555 from your Whale distributor.
N
No ot te e: :Switch off the power to the transformer while making connections.
Before connecting the control unit, disconnect the existing flow switch wires (bell wire). Cut this
wire 6 inches from the transformer, short the wires together and insulate. This will switch power
from the transformer through to the control unit.
Mount the control unit in a position where it is not easily accessible to the user. The control unit is
IP45 rated and may be mounted in Zone 2 of the bathroom.

Strip wires 10mm and twist prior to inserting in spring loaded contacts. Push contact arm back with
a finger or small screwdriver before inserting wire, and then release. Check for good connection
with a gentle tug on the wire.
1. Connect the output of the Whale transformer to the ‘Trans Red’ and ‘Trans Black’
connections as marked on the controller board.
2. Connect pump supply wires to ‘Pump Red’ and ‘Pump Black’ connections.
3. Connect flow sensor to sensor connections using the colours as indicated on the controller
board. For cold supply use ‘FS1’ and for hot supply use ‘FS2’ connections - see below.
1. Switch power on - the numeric LEDs will blink alternately
Adjusting the settings
a. Pressing the ‘Mode’ button will switch between the various mode settings.
b. The ‘Up’ and ‘Down’ arrow buttons are used to adjust the value.
c. Holding down the ‘Mode’ button programs the setting for the current mode. This is
indicated by the relevant mode LED blinking.
2.. Inlet pipe size
a. Program in the size of pipe work from the gulley to the pump. Either 15mm or
22mm.
N
No ot te e: :This will also reset all the factory default settings including the pump
speed.
3. Start Delay (Litres)
a. Select the initial volume of water in the tray before pumping starts. This should come
above the level of the sump. (Factory default is set at 0.4ltrs)

4. Pump speed setting
a. Prior to making adjustments turn shower on and wait till pump runs.

b. Watch the level of water within the shower using the gulley cover as a guide. If the
water level is lowering, reduce the speed of pump by pressing the ‘Down’ arrow.
Use initial increments of 5 until fine tuning is required. When water level is rising,
increase speed of pump using the ‘Up’ arrow. After making a change watch the
water level until you see if it is rising or falling. When the water level is constant,
program in the speed setting by holding down the ‘Mode’ button until the LED
blinks.
5. Pump speed - ‘Narrow’ setting (Only for use with mixer showers)
a. 'Pump speed' must be set first as per above using a mid-range flow setting.
b. Increase the flow from the shower and watch the water level in shower. If this
is rising or falling over time, make adjustment on speed until constant level is
observed and then program in setting.
c. This process may be repeated as required. The narrow adjustment corrects the flow
rate over a range 1 ltr/min either side of the flow rate that is being calibrated.

6. ‘Over Run (AS/Fixed)’ setting.
a. To set Auto Sense Over Run (indicated by 'AS' on the LED), turn the shower off.
When the pump is drawing air with no water in the sump, hold down the ‘Mode’
button.
b. To set a Fixed Over Run delay use the ‘Up’ and ‘Down’ arrows. Each digit represents
a delay of 5 seconds. Hold the ‘Mode’ button down to program.
