CARE OF YOUR CARAVAN
WATER CONTAINERS
(i) All water remaining in any water
container should be disposed of so that
the container is empty.
(ii) The outside of external water containers
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. Water should then be
put into the container, swirled round,
then emptied out.
(iii) All containers should then be totally
filled with water containing an
appropriate disinfectant / sterilising
solution and allowed to stand for the
recommended contact time.
(iv) The solution should be emptied from the
container.
(v) The opening of any container should be
cleaned thoroughly with an appropriate
pre-prepared wipe impregnated with a
disinfectant / sterilising solution.
(vi) External containers should be inverted
whilst stored overnight (if possible).
(vii) Containers must be filled with mains
water only and mains water only should
be used for the above cleaning
procedure.
(viii) On no account should garden hoses be
used to fill water tanks.
WATER SYSTEMS - STERILISATION
Clean the water system at the start and end
of the season with sterilising fluid.
Please Note: It is recommended that for this
operation the filter is removed as the fluid
reduces the effectiveness of a new filter.
(i)
Drain down the system. (Open all taps
to allow air in, enabling the system to
drain quickly). Including water heater
drain tap.
(ii) 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 /
sterilising solution).
(iii) Fill the system by using the pump with a
disinfectant / sterilising solution. (Check
that the solution at full strength appears
at all taps/showers). Allow to stand for
the recommended period of time.
(iv) Drain the system down completely.
(v)
Thoroughly clean the outside of all taps/
connectors with a cloth soaked in the
disinfectant / sterilising solution.
(vi) Flush the system through with clean
drinking water until no traces of
disinfectant / sterilising solution can be
detected at any tap.
(vii) After sterilising the system at the start of
the season it is recommended that a
new inline water filter cartridge be fitted.
(Located on the cold feed to the kitchen
tap).
Please note: Suitable sterilising chemicals
are available from your Erwin Hymer Group
UK Retailer, accessory shop, chemists, or
home-brew shops. It is not, however,
recommended to use bleach or sodium
metbisulphide.
