WATER TANKS
FRESH WATER SYSTEM
(i) All fittings, including the holding tank,
water pipes, taps and connections are
of food quality material (to BS6920) and
therefore, should not affect the quality
of the water used. It is recommended
however, that the system is flushed
through twice before it is used for the first
time, and always cleaned/flushed after it
has stood unused for a period of time (eg
over the winter period). Care has been
taken (using smooth bore pipes etc) to
eliminate as many water traps as possible.
(ii) When filling the fresh water system
remember to check that the water source
is suitable for use as drinking water and, if
you are using a hose pipe or water carrier,
that it is also made from nontoxic materials
(preferably food quality material).
(iii) The fresh water tank may be drained
either via a plug in the base of the tank
accessible via the cleaning hatch or by
the drain tap situated externally below the
side skirts, or internally inside the furniture
(model specific).
WARNING: The fresh water system is
pressurised by a pump which will continue
to operate until it senses a pre-set pressure
in the system.
If the fresh water tank is completely empty
the pump will be unable to pressurise the
system and will operate continuously. In this
situation it is essential that, in order to avoid
damage to the pump, it is switched off using
the pump isolator switch on the distribution
panel until such time as the water tank has
been filled.
Lockable water filler inlet
Fresh Water Tank
Your motorhome is fitted with a water tank
filled from the outside via a lockable water filler
cap. When filling, use a hose manufactured
from non toxic material, to prevent tainting of
the water. Remember, if the water heater has
been drained it will require 10 litre (0.2 gal) of
water to fill it.
External 12v Fill Socket
Depending on specification your motorhome
may be fitted with an external 12v socket
which can be used to attach an external 12v
pump.
