2.1.7 Draining and Winterising the water system
The Bailey Retreat Leisure Home maybe in use all the year round, but when they are not in use, even
for short periods, this procedure should be followed. One night in freezing temperatures is all that it is
required for expensive, permanent damage to water system components.
▲ Ensuring that all water is removed from the Leisure Home’s pipework, taps and appliances
will reduce the risk of frost damage occuring. Frost damage can occur when water left in
the system freezes and expands, causing pipework and appliances to split, crack or
burst.
● Ideally position the Leisure Home so the drain valves are at the lowest point i.e. tilt the Leisure
Home.
● Turn the pump off
● Open all taps/mixers in the mid position, including the external shower (if fitted).
● Remove shower handset (including the external shower, if fitted) and shake water out.
● Open water heater drain valve and leave open.
● Open on board tank drain valve (if present) and leave open).
● Where grey waste tanks are fitted, remove all sink plugs and open the drain tap.
● Open any other drain points (if present).
● External water components - shake water out of pump/AquaSource/Aquasmart filter assembly
and store inside the Leisure Home.
● Internal pump - turn on and allow to run to expel additional water for 2 minutes.
● If internal pump is accessible disconnect outlet pipe and turn on pump to purge water into an
adequate basin. Only reconnect pump when water system is to be used.
