Water System (Continued)
e)
Water Tank
The water tank is fitted with two breathers; when the tank is full water will
escape through these breathers and this should give no cause for concern. The drain tap
for the water tank is found above the rear step. We advise that you DO NOT use Milton
Sterilising Fluid for the water tanks as 'tasting' may be experienced.
f)
Waste
Tank
The waste tank is fitted to the centre underside of the vehicle. This tank
should always be drained before driving away from a site, or as soon as practicable to
avoid carrying unnecessary weight. The drain tap is found attached to the outlet pipe and
clipped to the vehicle on the offside.

CARVER CASCADE 2GE WATER HEATER
a)
The Cascade 2 GE water storage heater has a nine litre (2 gallons) capacity. The heater is
installed through the lower offside wall of the vehicle with only the flue cowl visible. All
the gas operational parts are contained within a single module. Control of the gas
operation of the Cascade 2 GE is made form the wall mounted remote control unit. This
controller contains both the working and 12 volt DC fuses. On the front are the indicator
lights which show the state of the heater. The lights on this controller do not show that
mains electricity is being used.
b)
The Cascade 2 GE requires the use of mains electricity which can be used as an
alternative to the gas operation or used with the gas to facilitate a faster warm-up. The
immersion element can be used on 220 or 240 volt 50 HZ and is rated at 605 and 660
watts respectively. The mains operation should be via a double pole switched outlet with
a contact gap of at least 3mm in each pole and fused at 5 amp.
c)
The temperature of the water on gas operation may be adjusted and is set to give a
water temperature of approx 70
°
C.
d)
Two safety features are included on the Cascade 2 GE these being:
1)
A pressure relief valve which automatically opens if the internal pressure exceeds 3
bar (44 p.s.i) then closes when the pressure drops.
2)
A manually resetable thermostat, which can be operated by pressing the reset
button that passes through the plastic housing covering the 240 volt workings.
Access to this button is as follows:
a)
Pull offside settee base fully forward.
b)
Remove base cushion.
c)
Remove small trimmed access panel found immediately above Carver
Cascade by lifting out.
d)
The reset button is found on the centre inner end of the Carver Cascade.
