Hitchman 80TA Tap for Aquaroll, Black

Product Information

Draining the internal tank is sufficient for towing, but for winter storage, you should consider draining down the entire system. The flow of hot and cold water around the van should then be constant and smooth. Cleaning the tank A high-quality handover will include a thorough test of the stare systems

Whilst surfing the net, I came across a neat little DIY alternative to the flexible ‘push fit’ filler pipe, it will fit almost any water tap, can handle extreme water pressure so you can fill up in record time and will not come flying out of the filler hole in the water container. Want see how to make a diy Aquaroll filler tube for yourself? Then read on. How to make yourself a DIY Aquaroll Filler Tube Step 1: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.

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. However, more generally, its because of the choice of materials used which can create issues for the user. For instance, the type of flexible pipe used between the caravan connection than the pump itself. On-Board Diaphragm Water Pumps Once filled, the water tank feeds fresh water to the water heater and the cold-water taps, when selected. Irregular pump action can also be caused by a surge or fall in a leisure battery’s voltage level. Some diaphragm pumps incorporate a pressure switch alongside an adjustable sensitivity control that can be turned with a screwdriver. Obviously, these types of pipes can be exposed to a lot of UV radiation, particularly in the summer months. Most of the Truma Ultraflow pipes which I’ve seen with kinks were actually pretty old.

The screw caps are handily placed and I found the hose with a push on tap connector supplied, very useful. A smart fix for this, devised by DIY guru Rod Farrendon, makes use of a product called Pipesnaps. These are rigid, split plastic tubes, designed to be clipped on to household pipes for decorative purposes. 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. As referenced above, the water system in a caravan or motorhome runs from the 12V system and not your 230V mains hook-up. So changing from the Truma Ultraflow to the Whale submersible water pump is fine for some caravans and motorhomes.
