or objects that come into contact with food.
• In order to ensure excellent water quality, water should
be taken directly from the public drinking water system.

mobile system.

must be flushed thoroughly before being used. Should

such measures.
8.2 Water supply
We recommend that you inspect any water you have left in
the tank, this is very critical before using the water again.
Function of the water supply
Fresh water is supplied to the hot-air heating system, the
kitchen and toilette via a submersible pump. The TANDEM
submersible pump operates electrically:
- via the ancillary battery,
- when the mobile home is connected to the 230V mains
via the power supply.
