Caravan Service Systems
3.1.4 Routine Maintenance
●
Ensure the hose adapter ‘O’ ring and the socket in the housing are kept free from dirt.
●
Use only silicone or water based lubricant to inlet nipple ‘O’ rings on socket for lubrication.
● Drain system thoroughly during the winter months, (see separate winterisation instructions).
●
Service inlet socket annually, (use Whale’s AK8834 service kit containing all serviceable parts).
●
Replace the WF3000 water filter annually.
3.1.5 Cleaning Containers and the System
●
Cleaning instructions for both water containers and the water system are detailed in general
maintenance section of the handbook.
3.1.6 Aquasource Direct Mains Water Connection
(This is not included as standard equipment, but is available from your nearest Bailey retailer).
●
The Aquasource fits simply and securely to your Whale socket system.
● Comes with 7.5m of foodgrade layflat hose, which is compact for storage. (A further 7.5m extension
hose is available as an optional extra to extend the hose).
●
The system is pressure controlled to protect your caravan from sustaining damage to your water
system (plumbing connections should be checked at the beginning of every season for frost damage
or loose connections).
▲
When using an Aquasource system, do not sleep or leave the vehicle unattended without
turning off the water source.
3.1.7 Draining and Winterisation of the Water System
Caravans may be in use all year round, but when not in use, even for short periods, this procedure
should be followed. One night of freezing temperatures is all that is required for expensive, permanent
damage to water system components.
●
Open all taps, shower controls and shower rose on/off controls, lift ceramic ball mixer tap levers in
central position to allow both the hot and cold water to drain.
●
For Aquasmart system open valves and run pump to drain system.
●
Remove shower heads
a) To remove shower heads, unscrew by hand, then shake out and store in a dry place.)
●
The submersible filter should be shaken out and stored in a dry place.
●
Open drain plug on water heater.
▲ It is essential that the lever of ceramic ball mixer taps is fully raised and in the central
position. Failure to do this will not allow both the hot and cold water system to fully drain
and will result in frost damage.
