3.1 THE WATER SYSTEM
3.1.1 Priming the System using the External Water Container
1. Adjust dust cover over water container
opening (please note dust cover should
not be secured to water container as
air must be allowed to enter container
to replace water being drawn out).
2. Open one cold tap (e.g. kitchen sink).
3. Place carbon filter assembled to hose,
into a full water container.
4. Insert plug into wall socket and close
lid to lock plug in place (see fig. 1).
5. Switch on 12 volt supply at main control
panel located by the exterior door.
6. Water will flow from the open tap
expelling any trapped air in a few
seconds. The water may at first be
greyish in colour which is quite normal,
the discolouration is due to harmless
media being flushed out of the new
filter cartridge.
7. Close cold tap and open hot tap to
expel any remaining air in the water
heater (this may take up to 30
seconds). Then repeat this exercise
with the remaining taps in the caravan.
8. The system is now ready for use. Hose can be inserted into plug groove (fig. 2) to keep filter off the
ground while refilling water container. Keep socket lid shut at all times when plug is removed.
9. When the caravan is left unattended or water supply has been allowed to empty to prevent the
pump running continuously, turn off at isolating switch.
10. Care should be taken when turning on any of the hot taps after the water heater has been switched
on as steam can spurt from the tap whilst the hot water system is filling.
