Waste (Grey Water System.)
The waste water (often referred to as ‘grey’ water) from
the caravan’s sinks and shower tray are outed to two
outlets just behind the offside wheel.
When setting up your caravan short pieces of waste
pipe hose should be tted to the wastewater outlets to
direct the water into a suitable container. These are both
available from your caravan retailer.
Ensure that the exit ends of the waste water
pipes, that direct the waste water into the
holding container, cannot be submerged by
the waste water in the holding container at
any time.
Upon arrival at the caravan site advice should always be
sought from the site manager as to where waste (Grey)
water is to be disposed of.
Draining and Winterisation of the Water System
The Bailey Unicorn Caravan 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 Caravan’s
pipework, taps and appliances will reduce the risk of
frost damage occurring. 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 Caravan so the drain valves are at
the lowest point i.e. tilt the caravan.
Turn the pump off
Open all taps/mixers in the mid position, including the
external shower (if tted).
Remove shower handset (including the external shower,
if tted) 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 tted, remove all sink plugs
and open the drain tap.
Open any other drain points (if present).
External water components - shake water out of pump/
Aqua-source/Aqua-smart lter assembly and store
inside the Caravan.
Unicorn ONLY Internal pump - turn on and allow to run to
expel additional water for 2 minutes.
It is essential that the lever of ceramic ball
mixer taps is fully raised and in the central
position. Failure to do this will not allow both
the hot and cold water system to fully drain
and will result in frost damage.
Setting up the Water System.
Ret old lters:
Check all plumbing connections.
It is recommended at this point to sterilise your water
container and ush the system through with a sterilising
uid.
Renew old lter after ushing system through. It is also
recommended that the water system is checked during
annual service.
Frost damage cannot be claimed under
warranty.
Shower Tray
The shower tray cannot be expected to drain fully, some
residual water may remain which will require “mopping
up.”
