GETTING STARTED
How to Use Your Aquasource
CAUTION: Do not under any circumstances
connect your caravan to the mains water
supply without the pressure reducer fitted.
Damage will occur to the caravan’s water
system! Max. working inlet pressure: 7 bar.
Static pressure: approx. 0.8 - 1 bar
Connection to your water inlet
(i) Uncoil the hose and screw tap adaptor
to the drinking water stand pipe and plug
in the hose adaptor.
(ii) Raise the lid; clean both the water
socket and the Aquasource plug. Push
the plug into the socket. Turn on the
mains water supply and check for leaks.
Open one of the taps and purge any air
that may be trapped in the water system.
To remove, pull the lower trigger and pull
out the hose plug.
Draining Down Your Water System
(i) It is essential that you drain down your
caravan water system when it is not in
use. This is most important during
winter months to protect against frost
damage.
(ii) Disconnect the water pump and switch
off power supply.
(iii) Remove the water heater fuse from the
switch spur and store in a safe place.
(iv) Open the safety drain valve on the water
heater located next to the water heater.
(v) Open all taps and remove all plugs from
sinks and showers. Lever operated taps
should have the lever put into the up and
central position.
(vi) Open the drain outlets on the outside of
your caravan.
(vii) Ensure the drain tap on your water tank
is in the open position.
(viii) Adjust the level of the caravan to ensure
that the drain outlet is at the lowest point
of the caravan. This will aid the flow of
water to ensure all water is drained off.
(ix) After 30 minutes level the caravan and
prepare it for storage if necessary.
