FAQs

Can this pump be used with hot water?

No, the Comet Elegant is designed for cold water applications only.

Does the pump need to be fully submerged?

Yes, it is a submersible pump and requires the water level to cover the pump intake at all times to function correctly.

Is it safe to run the pump dry?

No, running the pump without water will lead to premature failure of the motor and internal seals.

Can I extend the 1m cable?

Yes, you can extend the cable, but ensure you use appropriately sized wire to prevent voltage drop, which could affect performance.

What size hose do I need?

This pump typically fits standard 10mm to 12mm internal diameter flexible tubing commonly used in caravan plumbing.

Is this pump suitable for a shower system?

While it can move water, the 10L/min flow is intended for sink use; it may lack the pressure required for a high-performance shower experience.

Troubleshooting

Pump is running but no water is coming out

Check if the pump is fully submerged and that there are no airlocks in the hose. Tilt the pump slightly while submerged to release trapped air.

Pump is making noise but not pumping

Ensure the voltage is exactly 12V. If the battery is low, the motor may spin without sufficient torque to move the water.

Water flow is significantly lower than 10L/min

Check the hose for kinks or blockages. Additionally, inspect the intake filter at the base of the pump for debris or sediment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely quiet during operation
  • Lightweight design at only 300g

  • Not suitable for hot water systems
  • Requires complete submersion to function
  • Limited flow rate for high-demand showers
  • Cable length may require extension in larger vehicles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up, simply connect the pump to your vehicle's 12V wiring and attach a suitable 10mm-12mm flexible water hose to the pump outlet using a hose clip. Ensure the pump is fully submerged before switching it on to prevent dry running, which can damage the internal components. For maintenance, it is recommended to sanitize your water container regularly. If the vehicle is being stored for a long period, remove the pump from the water container and shake it out to ensure it is dry, preventing the buildup of biofilm or mineral deposits.
