CLEANING WATER SYSTEM
Separate Water Containers
1. All water remaining in the container
should be disposed of so that the
container is empty.
2. The outside of the container 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.
3. Water should be put in the container,
swirled around, then emptied out.
4. The container should then be totally filled
with water containing an appropriate
sterilant solution and allowed to stand for
the recommended contact time
(e.g. Milton for 15 minutes).
5. The solution should be emptied from
the container.
6. The opening of the container should be
cleaned thoroughly with an appropriate
prepared wipe impregnated with
a sterilant.
7. The container should be inverted whilst
stored overnight (if possible).
8. The container must be filled with mains
water only and mains water only should be
used for the above cleaning procedure.
9. On no account should garden hoses be
used to fill water tanks.
For Systems:
1. Drain down the system (open all taps to
allow air in, enabling the system to
drain quickly).
2. 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/
sterilant solution).
3. Fill the water system with a disinfectant/
sterilant solution (check that the solution at
full strength appears at all taps/showers).
Allow to stand for the recommended
period of time.
4. Drain the system completely.
5. Thoroughly clean the outside of all taps/
connectors with a cloth soaked in the
disinfectant/sterilant.
6. Flush the system through with clean
drinking water until no traces of
disinfectant/sterilant can be detected at
any tap.
Suitable sterilising chemicals are available
from your motorhome dealer, accessory
shop, chemist or home-brew shops. It is not,
however, recommended to use bleach or
sodium metabisulphite.
Waste water system
(i) The waste water holding tank is
secured underneath the chassis of your
motorhome and is gravity fed.
(ii) In order to eliminate unpleasant odours as
much as possible, only smooth bore pipes
are used.
However, should the waste water tank be
overfilled, it is possible the waste water will
backfill the drain pipes until it eventually
appears in the shower base. In order to
prevent this, please take note of part (iii).
(iii) The waste water gauge shows the level of
the tank in quarter or half increments, it is
therefore, recommended that the waste
water tank is checked on a daily basis,
emptying when required. This is done by
opening the valve located just beneath the
side skirt on the exterior of the Motorhome
or by turning the handle located inside the
vehicle at floor level behind the rear axle,
usually found in bed box or wardrobe base
(model dependant).
It should be emptied either directly, or via a
waste water container (not supplied) into a
designated waste water area.
