CARE OF YOUR CARAVAN
WATER CONTAINERS
(i)
All water remaining in any water
container should be disposed of so that
the container is empty.
(ii)
The outside of external water containers
should be thoroughly cleansed and
washed down to remove any dirt, dust or
other contaminant. Water at a suitably
hot temperature containing an
appropriate detergent is recommended
for this purpose. Water should then be
put into the container, swirled round, then
emptied out.
(iii) All containers should then be totally filled
with water containing an appropriate
disinfectant / sterilising solution and
allowed to stand for the recommended
contact time (e.g. Milton for 15 minutes).
(iv) The solution should be emptied from the
container.
(v)
The opening of any container should be
cleaned thoroughly with an appropriate
pre-prepared wipe impregnated with a
disinfectant / sterilising solution.
(vi) External containers should be inverted
whilst stored overnight (if possible).
(vii) Containers must be filled with mains
water only and mains water only should
be used for the above cleaning
procedure.
(viii) On no account should garden hoses be
used to fill water tanks.
WARNING: Under no circumstances
should alcohol, spirit or solvent-based
liquids be used on GRP or ABS plastic
panels as these substances may react
with the material and cause visible
damage.
WATER SYSTEMS - STERILISATION
Clean the water system at the start and end
of the season with sterilising fluid. When
cleaning it is advisable to use a sterilising
fluid e.g. Chempro SDP or similar.
Please note:
It is recommended that for this
operation the filter is removed as the fluid
reduces the effectiveness of a new filter.
(i)
Drain down the system. (Open all taps to
allow air in, enabling the system to drain
quickly.) See Index - Water System,
Draining.
(ii)
Remove any water filters fitted, and
replace with a short length of hose or
empty filter cartridge (this will ensure the
filter is not affected by the disinfectant /
sterilising solution).
(iii) Fill the system by using the pump with a
disinfectant / sterilising solution. (Check
that the solution at full strength appears
at all taps/showers). Allow to stand for
the recommended period of time.
(iv) Drain the system down completely.
(v)
Thoroughly clean the outside of all taps/
connectors with a cloth soaked in the
disinfectant / sterilising solution.
(vi) Flush the system through with clean
drinking water until no traces of
disinfectant / sterilising solution can be
detected at any tap.
(vii) After sterilising the system at the start of
the season it is recommended that a
new Ultraflow filter cartridge should be
fitted.
Please note:
Suitable sterilising chemicals
are available from your Buccaneer Retailer,
accessory shop, chemists, or home-brew
shops. It is not, however, recommended to
use bleach or sodium met bisulphide.
