8.1 General information
Function of the water supply
Water is provided to the kitchen and toilet area via an immersion
pump. The immersion pump functions on electricity:
- via a 12 volt automobile battery if the caravan is connected via
a plug to the base vehicle,
- via a transformer if the caravan is connected to the 230 volt
main.
- In self-sucient mode * via the installed auxiliary battery.
• Water that is suitable for drinking should always
be used with working with food. This also applies
to washing your hands and cleaning the objects
that have come into contact with food.
• To ensure that the quality of the water is faultless,
the water should be taken directly from the public
drinking water system.
• Under no circumstances should garden hoses,
watering cans and similar materials that are unsu-
itable for drinking water be used to ll the mobile
system.
• If the caravan will not be used for a longer period
of time, the entire water system must be emptied
completely.
• After long periods of stagnation, the water system
must be rinsed thoroughly before it is used again.
If you nd that it is contaminated, the material
should be disinfected using cleaning agents that
are permitted and suitable.
We recommend that you inspect any water you have
left in the tank, this is very critical before using the wa-
ter again.
