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 (e.g. Milton for 15 minutes).
(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.
WARNING: Under no circumstances
should alcohol, spirit or solvent-based
liquids be used on GRP or ABS plastic
panels as these substances may react
with the material and cause visible
damage.
