Product Information

Measuring the level of fluid in a tank is a challenge and makers use a variety of systems to achieve this. These range from simple float devices that can vary their resistance as the water level changes, to individual prongs of different lengths that sense when they’re immersed in water. Some systems also have a couple of studs bolted to the side of a waste water tank to indicate when it needs emptying. Ensure that your bin lid is closed as we will not remove additional waste that forces the bin open and your bin will not be emptied Some motorhomes use jubilee clips to secure water pipes to the barbed fittings of taps and ancillaries, but most modern models use semi-rigid hose and push-fit connectors. Most modern motorhomes have temperature-activated valves that automatically drain off the water tank and hot water tank in cold conditions. These work well, but don’t get into the habit of relying on them. Most motorhomes use one of two kinds of water pump. Pressure-activated pumps are switched on when their pressure sensor detects a drop in water pressure when a tap is opened or the loo flushed. These are often external to the fresh water tank and the pressure sensor is adjustable.

Waste water tanks are often underslung and can be into tight spaces underneath the motorhome or campervan. This can mean that they’re an odd shape so they may need you to make sure the vehicle is level to drain them. Even if the tank drain valve has emptied the water tanks that doesn’t mean the motorhome is fully frost protected – any part of the system where water can be trapped (between the water pump and kitchen tap) can cause an issue. As water freezes it expands and can split the housing it is contained in. The placement of the water tank depends upon the size of the vehicle, its layout and axle load limits. Care and support for adults Includes adult social care, information for carers and help to live at home You can dispose of your old large electrical items at one of the county’s recycling centres or smaller items at a local recycling bank.

Rather than using bottled water to drink or fill the kettle with, you can also add a filter to your water system. There are various brands on the market and you can either add them inline to your existing water tap (most people use the kitchen sink tap) or add a second tap system. Water filters can remove harmful nasties in the water and can be helpful if you have to fill up from an unclean source. While most water tanks are rectangular, they can be any shape to fit in a certain space and firms such as Cak Tanks can make a tank in almost any shape or size. If you have incontinence pads or colostomy/stoma bags - we have a separate, free hygiene waste collection for this waste. To find out more about what we collect and how to apply follow this link Planning, buildings and land Includes planning permission, building control, countryside and open spaces All wheeled bins are emptied mechanically into the waste collection vehicle. It is the householder's responsibility to ensure that waste is not overly compacted or frozen in the wheeled bin to ensure that the waste falls out into the vehicle.

These are similar to some domestic systems and the semi-rigid hose push-fits into the end of the connectors and appliances (it can be easily removed by pushing the collet in). Any hose that runs from the tap to the motorhome ideally needs to be food-grade to avoid any plastic leaching into the water tank. Some people fill up their water tank with a garden hose pipe, which is less than ideal (definitely don’t drink it).If you have dog mess to dispose of, make sure it is double bagged and mixed in with other types of waste Any motorhome can be prepared and adapted for a one-off winter trip (when water systems are vulnerable to the cold), so it’s more important to consider where it is kept for the majority of the time when it comes to specifying a water system. If you live in Cornwall, there’s less of a need for a heated water tank than if you live in the Scottish Highlands. They’re generally reliable but be aware that, if you have a water leak, they can activate automatically and pump water out of any hole or detached hose connector. Draining down over winter, and switching the water pump off when it’s not in use can prevent this.

Bacteria, films and moulds need heat and moisture to thrive so, if the tank is dry, it reduces their build up. To recommission the system, close all the drain valves, switch off all the taps and refill the water tank. Then open the tap furthest away from the water tank and keep it open until it gives a steady flow. Repeat this procedure for each tap and the shower head. Most water pumps will self-prime very easily. If you only have a smaller campervan without a shower, then your water requirements will be quite low and a removable tank of around 20 litres may suffice. Removable tanks are easier to clean and fill up. In winter they can be removed to reduce the chance of freezing. Any plumbing that runs externally should be insulated. This isn’t always the case with waste water plumbing but this is not a major issue as external insulation is easy to add. What types of motorhome water pumps are there?Most motorhomes (and many campervans) have a fixed fresh water tank onboard that’s filled up by physically moving the vehicle to within a hosepipe-filling length of a water tap. The fresh water tank is connected to a pump and series of hoses and taps, as well as feeding the hot water tank (often built into the heating system with a Truma Combi unit). To sterilise your water system, you can add a cleaning agent to your water tank – such as Puriclean – and then open up each water tap or shower head in turn to flush it through. Start with the tap furthest away from the tank and leave the fluid in the system overnight before flushing it out with fresh water. It’s a good idea to take the vehicle for a drive so that the sterilising fluid can slosh into every corner of the water system. Water sat in a tank will smell if left for long periods, so always drain it down over winter lay-up. Slimy residues also build up in standing water and these need to be cleaned off at the start of the season. Most water tanks have large inspection hatches for this purpose.
