ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
1. Ensure that the O-ring seal on the hose
plug and socket are free from dirt.
2. To aid fitting of the plug assembly smear
the O-ring with vegetable oil.
3. To change the filter, turn the filter cap
anti-clockwise and pull out the filter.
4. After installation, please drain off the first
litres until the filtrate is clear.
Maximum filtering efficiency (cleaning effect)
can only be achieved if the filter is changed
at regular intervals. The filter must be
changed within 35 days of initial use, even if
it was not in use during this time. Please
remember that water is foodstuff. We
recommend that filtered water is consumed
within 1 – 2 days and advise you to drain the
system after long periods of disuse.
Use dial on the filter housing for guidance to
replace after approx. 35 days of use.
NOTES
Never allow the pump to run dry. Always
ensure that the pump is submerged in the
water or the lifetime of the pump will be
reduced.
WINTERISATION
If there is any chance of the temperature
falling below freezing when the caravan is
not in use the water system and toilet
system must be winterised. All the taps
should be opened; the water filter and the
caravan system drained using all the drain
taps (cold/hot/waterheater) situated within
the caravan. Additionally shower heads
should be removed and the hose left
hanging downwards.
During the winter when the caravan is not in
use, it is advisable to remove the filter to
avoid any retained water within the filter
freezing.
If you use the Truma external shower (some
models) you must drain the filter housing by
connecting up the outside shower and
allowing the remaining water to drain by the
open shower head. The filter hole may be
sealed with the filter cap.
Clean the water system at the start and end
of each season.
FAILURE TO CARRY OUT THIS
PROCEDURE MAY INVALIDATE YOUR
WARRANTY ON ALL WATER SYSTEM
ASSOCIATED PARTS.
STERILISING
1. When cleaning the water system at the
start or the end of the season it is
advisable to use a sterilising fluid e.g. The
Truma sterilise. It is recommended that
for this operation the filter is removed as
the fluid reduces the effectiveness of a
new filter.
2. Flush the system thoroughly to remove
the effective fluid traces.
3. After sterilising the system at the start of
the season it is recommended that a new
filter cartridge should be fitted.
