10.1 Water Supply, General
The caravan is equipped with a fresh water canister or a built-in fresh water tank. An electric water
pump pumps the fresh water to the individual water taps. Opening a water tap automatically switches
on the water pump and pumps fresh water to the tap. A canister or the waste water tank collects the
waste water.
When the fresh water canister or the fresh water tank is re-filled, an air bubble may form at the bot-
tom of the pump which will prevent water from being drawn in. Shake the water pump up and down
energetically in the water.
Water left standing in the fresh water canister, in the fresh water tank or in the water pipes becomes
undrinkable after a short period. Rinse the water pipes and the fresh water canister or the fresh water
tank thoroughly with several litres of water before each use of the caravan. To do this, open all water
taps. After each use of the caravan, empty completely the fresh water canister or the fresh water
tank and the water pipes.
> Fill the fresh water canister or the fresh water tank only with fresh water.
> If there is any risk of frost, empty the water system completely.
> The water pump will overheat without fresh water and can get damaged. Never oper-
ate water pump when the fresh water canister or the fresh water tank is empty.
> Clean the fresh water tank or the fresh water canister thoroughly before use.
> Before using the water fittings, the 240 V electricity supply must be connected and the
240 V automatic circuit breaker must be switched on. Otherwise the water pump will
not work. This is not required when the caravan is fitted with the Power Pack SE.
