Whale has tested its system and found it can heat enough water for a 14-litre shower in 11 minutes, and then takes only a further eight minutes to provide the water for a second hot shower. If you account for drying-off time, Whale Expanse delivers consecutive showers with virtually no waiting time.

To do that, with the pump off, turn on all of the internal taps, including the shower tap, and set them to cold, before opening the tank drain valve, or the general drain valve. http://www. caravantalk. co. uk/community/topic/103223-whale-aquasource-failed-after-8th-day-of-use/ Suitable for use with caravans and motorhomes with either microswitch or pressure switch systems. Regulates mains water pressure to nominal 1.5 bar (max. 1.8 bar). Ideal for use in UK and European Parks with mains water hook-up facilities. The heated water is mixed as it flows through the boiler to ensure an even temperature, rather than just bursts of very hot and very cool water – not much fun in the shower!One problem with these submersible pumps on flexible rubber pipes is that they can often curl up inside the barrel, meaning that the pump on the end is not fully underwater. Systems vary between van brands, but the logic is usually similar. Many feature a selector switch, which changes the water source from an external one (Aquaroll/Waterhog) to the internal fresh-water tank. Tried fixing with LSX sealant. Worked for a bit with supply tap turned on low, but as soon as either pump or heating turned on, pressure was too great and it failed.

Both have the potential to flood the caravan with unlimited volumes of water for which equally effective safeguards against flooding are easily to hand for when the caravan is unattended. .. Alde also heats the water, and its 3020 model has a high output of 8.7kW when gas and electric are combined. Alde claims its hot water system can heat its 8.4-litre tank to 50°C in 30 minutes, when used on the Boost setting. How they work

Temperature sensors adjust the heating to give the required flow of hot water, and the hot water supply is carried in pipes to the tap in use. Our collections by our couriers are happening as usual.
