DRAINING DOWN YOUR WATER
SYSTEM
1. 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.
2. Disconnect the water pump and
switch of power supply.
3. Remove the water heater fuse from
the switch spur and store in a safe
place.
4. Open the safety drain valve on the
water heater located next to the water
heater.
5. Open all taps and remove all plugs
from sinks and showers. Lever
operated taps should have the lever
put into the up position.
6. Open the drain outlets on the outside
of your caravan.
7. If an inboard water tank is fitted ensure
that the drain tap on the tank is open.
8. 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.
9. After 30 minutes level the caravan and
prepare it for storage if necessary.
