GETTING STARTED
How to Use Your Aquasource
CAUTION
Do not under any circumstances connect your
caravan to the mains water supply without the
pressure reducer fitted. Damage will occur to the
caravan’s water system! Max. working inlet
pressure: 7 bar. Static pressure: approx. 0.8 - 1
bar
Connection to your water inlet
(i) Uncoil the hose and screw tap adaptor to
the drinking water stand pipe and plug in
the hose adaptor.
(ii) Raise the lid; clean both the water socket
and the Aquasource plug. Push the plug into
the socket. Turn on the mains water supply
and check for leaks. Open one of the taps
and purge any air that may be trapped in the
water system. To remove, pull the lower
trigger and pull out the hose plug.
Draining Down Your Water System
(i) It is essential that you drain down your
caravan water system when it is not in use.
This is most important during winter
months to protect against frost damage.
(ii) Disconnect the water pump and switch off
power supply.
(iii) Remove the water heater fuse from the
switch spur and store in a safe place.
(iv) Open the safety drain valve on the water
heater located next to the water heater.
(v) Open all taps and remove all plugs from
sinks and showers. Lever operated taps
should have the lever put into the up and
central position.
(vi) Open the drain outlets on the outside of
your caravan.
(vii) Ensure the drain tap on your water tank is
in the open position.
(viii) Adjust the level of the caravan to ensure
that the drain outlet is at the lowest point
of the caravan. This will aid the flow of water
to ensure all water is drained off.
(ix) After 30 minutes level the caravan and
prepare it for storage if necessary.
