Water supply, general
The vehicle is equipped with a fitted water tank. An electric water pump pumps
the water to the individual water taps. Opening a water tap automatically
switches on the water pump and pumps water to the tap.
A canister or a waste water tank collects the waste water.
X
Fill water tank from supply systems that have been verified to provide
drinking water quality.
X
Only use such hoses or containers when filling that have been approved
for use with drinking water.
X
Thoroughly rinse filling hose or container with drinking water before use
(2 to 3 times capacity).
X
Empty filling hose or container completely after use and close openings
of the filling hose or container.
X
Water left standing in the water tank or in the water pipes becomes
undrinkable after a short period. Therefore, before each use of the
vehicle, thoroughly clean the water pipes and the water tank. After each
use of the vehicle completely empty the water tank and the water pipes.
X
In the case of lay-ups lasting more than a week disinfect the water
system before using the vehicle (see chapter 11).
Z
If the vehicle is not used for several days or if it is not heated when there is
a risk of frost, empty the entire water system. Make sure that the 12 V
power supply on the panel is switched off. Otherwise, the water pump will
overheat and may get damaged. Leave the water taps on in central posi-
tion. Leave the safety/drainage valve (if there is one) and all drain cocks
open. Frost damage to appliances, frost damage to the vehicle and
deposits in water-carrying components can be avoided in this way.
Z
The water pump will overheat without water and can get damaged. Never
operate water pump when the water tank is empty.
Z
Before using the water fittings: Connect the 230 V power supply and switch
on the 230 V automatic circuit breaker, or connect the caravans electrics to
the towing vehicle. Otherwise the water pump will not work. (This only
applies to caravans that are not equipped with a separate battery.)
Z
When the water tank is re-filled, an air bubble may form at the bottom of the
pump. This air bubble will prevent water from being drawn in. Shake the
water pump up and down energetically in the water.
