One important point to bear in mind is that on grass pitches, you should never drain very hot water straight onto the grass before you leave – for obvious reasons! Priming the system The easy connector from tap to caravan for continuous water supply. No need to carry heavy water containers. Allows a reliable continuous supply of water. Delivers water without using battery power. Whale will be able to examine the pump plastics, dismantle and determine if a weld or other join has failed (due to manufacture fault or bad assembly) . .. their experience and knowledge of how the units are made will allow them to determine that. .. Grey water – waste from the sink, handbasin and shower – leaves the caravan from two pipes located under the bottom edge of the van. Suitable for use with caravans and motorhomes with either microswitch or pressure switch systems. Regulates mains water pressure to nominal 1.5 bar (max. 1.8 bar). Ideal for use in UK and European Parks with mains water hook-up facilities.

While this might not save a lot of effort, having a secondary water tank can mean that one ‘water-filling’ session will last you the whole day, or perhaps even a weekend if you’re frugal. Hello, I have a 2020 Bailey Unicorn Vigo and I am connecting it directly to the mains water tap on the pitch using a Whale Aquasource Mains Connector. I thought this would be a good idea, as it means I wouldn’t need an Aquaroll. One problem with these submersible pumps on flexible rubber pipes is that they can often curl up inside the barrel, meaning that the pump on the end is not fully underwater.It’s perfectly safe to drink UK tap water in a caravan with a well-maintained water system, but we use a large bottled-water canister for drinking water, to ensure a perfect cup of tea! The heated water is mixed as it flows through the boiler to ensure an even temperature, rather than just bursts of very hot and very cool water – not much fun in the shower! Using the hot-water system begins with you entering your requirements on the control panel, be that space heating or water heating. You can then select the level of heat that you want and the power source to achieve it. This will cause the boiler to fire up. These systems tend to be hidden away under a caravan sofa and look like a compact barrel or box, with pipes and wires going in and out.

To avoid it stagnating, water should not be left in any water tank for more than two or three days if it’s not being circulated, because there’s the potential for microbes to build up. Tried fixing with LSX sealant. Worked for a bit with supply tap turned on low, but as soon as either pump or heating turned on, pressure was too great and it failed. Bailey fit their pump etc. ,. on a plastic tray with drain holes to the outside so a small reasonably slow leak will probably not do internal caravan damage. .. better than some other makers! The OP specifically mentions low pressure with 'mains water running into the caravan'. Without clarity as to what that means or how it is achieved it is difficult to answer. You seem to have discounted all but an aquaroll with a submersible pump. When all of the cold water has drained away, turn the taps to the hot setting; in this way, the maximum amount of water will be evacuated.For fast hot-water heating, air and gas enter the combustion chamber and are ignited by an electronic ignition system (often there are two igniters). For the latest information and advice on COVID-19, please refer to the latest updates by the UK Government. Both of these solutions should also help to clear limescale from the hot-water pipes and boiler. Of course, you might need to run the taps for a minute or two with fresh water after cleaning, to get rid of any vinegar residue. Sarson’s-flavoured tea, anyone? Grey waste Yes, the clamped water pipe work was blown clean off the fittings on my previous Bailey Ranger by using the aquasource pressure regulator.

The inline switch is usually yellow and is in its drain-down setting when it’s in the upright position. When putting your caravan into winter storage, you should leave the valve in this position. As internal tanks should ideally be empty when you’re on the road, the system needs to be primed when it is refilled. The Whale Easy Water Connectormeans there is no need to carry heavy water containers. It allows a reliable continuous supply of water and delivers water without using battery power. Thw Whale mains water connection is suitable for use with caravans and motorhomes with either microswitch or pressure switch systems. It regulates mains water pressure to nominal 1.5 bar (max. 1.8 bar) and is ideal for use in UK and European Parks with mains water hook-up facilities. Some ****** has chopped it up into little pieces, put a piece of wood in the end of it, left it on the floor, came round to the van and insulted me, tipped fairy liquid in my aquaroll - all very hilarious!!

Also lots of people get along fine with them, so I guess it's your choice. The one thing I would say is that if you have an onboard pump, make sure you have a bypass valve setup. The pressure is not good for some diaphragm pumps or inline filters. Now turn the tap to cold and let the same thing happen. Repeat this process with the basin and shower, too. Temperature sensors adjust the heating to give the required flow of hot water, and the hot water supply is carried in pipes to the tap in use. Hi, everyone. Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated. Just starting second year caravanning with new Bailey U2 Cadiz.
