Floe Touring Caravan Drainage Kit - Truma Ultraflow Pistol Grip Connection

Product Information

We take a look at the new integrated Floë Induratec 868 water drain down system, which will drain down your holiday caravan in just four minutes by using an in-built air compresser to blow any excess water out of your pipes and taps. If your caravan has blinds, do not leave them down as this can damage the mechanism. Vacuum all the carpets and clean surfaces to remove any food crumbs. Exterior With its patented technology, Floë simply fits to this Truma Ultraflow Pistol adapter. The adapter fits snugly into the side of the van and with the help of a foot pump or 12 volt tyre compressor, you will be able to purge water out of each tap and fitting, thereby knowing your system is empty. ADDED BONUS 2– Use Floë to drain garden sprinkler systems, garden hoses and power-hoses etc for winter.

Take home anything of value such as a TV, DVD player or music system. Clean all surfaces in case of food spills or crumbs. Move all the sofa cushions away from exterior walls. Roll up any loose rugs and stand on end. Interior Many caravan owners find that if they have left water in their system, they are greeted by broken taps or onboard pumps when they try to recommission ready for the spring. Some owners try driving home from their last trip with the dump valves open to remove the last drops of water, or blowing down through the taps to try to flush out any remaining fluid, but the reality is that you never really know how much water is left in the system, particularly if you are storing your caravan on an incline. If you have a static park home or a holiday home with a closed water system (no water tanks in the attic), then it is important to drain down the tank in the winter to avoid freezing pipes and boilers in the winter to ensure you can enjoy it in the summer months. It’s a condition of our caravan and motorhome insurance policies to drain down your leisure vehicle between November 1st and March 15th when it’s not in use to prevent any frost damage to your water tanks or pipes. Floë Induratec 636 automatic drain down system We recommend that the kit is used throughout the year especially if the caravan has not been used for a period of time.

ADDED BONUS 2– If you have a gas boiler with mains water throughout your house, you can use Floë to clean out the internal heat exchanger. There is no technical experience necessary and your boiler will be cleaned as part of a normal draindown Don’t be alarmed if you experience spitting after the water comes out of the tap; this is just the air being released, and shows you that the pipes are now empty.

This product may not be suitable for caravans with onboard fresh water tanks. If a tank is present, make sure that there is a manual or electric diversion, that allows water to be drawn directly from the outside water barrel, straight to the taps. Tanks contain air vents that will leak air pressure. In this event, please use our Floë Caravan & Camper Drainage Kit – APT 0105 There are also portable Floë drain down kits for caravans and motorhomes, which also blow air through the system by connecting the kit to a foot pump or 12 volt air compressor with an accurate air pressure gauge. Step 4: Open each tap in your caravan or motorhome individually, including the shower, until all are drained. Ensure the device is connected to the outside of your caravan (where the water normally goes in) and then connect the air source at the other end. Switch on the pump and build up the pressure to 15 psi. Once this is done you can empty your kitchen taps, bathroom taps and shower, one by one, as you’ll find that the pressure will force the remaining water to come out. If you have mixer taps, it’s important to empty both hot and cold water, as they come from a different place in your water system. After every tap release, build up the pressure again, ready to empty the next one.Floë is easily and permanently fitted to the property, so the only thing the owner needs to do is, turn off the mains water supply, switch Floë on and then start opening and draining taps (faucets), showers and toilets. Everything is now operated from the inside the property, comfortably in the warmth. With its own PCB brain and clever compressor, Floë will automatically stop at the correct pressure and restart automatically after each outlet is drained. Better yet, Floë has been carefully designed to be able to be removed again without trace, so should you change your property, you are free to take Floë with you. This is an important one. If the winter is harsh, left over water in pipes can freeze, expand and split pipes. The water then continues to flow and floods your caravan. Step 2 : Switch on Floë 868 and it will automatically stop and restart building pressure up in the system to 15 PSI.
