City Water; Outside Shower; Emptying The Fresh Water - Polar Electro 520 CTH DB 2020 Instruction Book

City water

Some caravans have a City water connection installed.
With this connection no water need to be filled in the
water tank. The water supply to the caravan is coming
from a suitable hose between the caravan and the parking
place water output.
For using the city water, do the following:
1. Switch off the water pump.
See reference for "Control panel 12 V", page 32).
2. Connect the hose between the caravan´s water intake
and the parking place water output.
3. Open the tap in the parking place water output.
Now the caravans water system is ready to be used as
usual.
After usage, the tap for incoming water os closed and the
hose is disconnected. Then connect the water pump, (see
reference for "Control panel 12 V" page 32).
Emptying the water system is then made as usual accor-
ding "Emptying the fresh water" on page 52.

Outside shower

Some caravans have an outside shower installed. The
shower is connected to the caravans water system. The
hose is connected to the water outlet with a bayonet socket.
In the water outlet there is a knob for adjustment of hot
and cold water, and a switch to start the water pump.

For using the shower, do the following:

Emptying the fresh water

If the caravan is to be left standing for an extended period,
or if the temperature while it is pitched will be below 0°C
and the caravan is to be left unheated, the water system
must be emptied. The caravan's water tank should be
cleaned at regular intervals when it has been used.
To empty the water system:
1. Open the drainage valve for the tank, which is generally
located under the caravan directly below the water filler.
2. Turn off the switch for the water pump on the control panel,
(see reference for "Control panel 12 V" page 32) and set
the taps on the sink and in the washroom to fully open and
hot.
3. Open the water heater's drainage valve (the valve should
be pointing straight up). The drainage valve is located
on the floor, beside the boiler.

4. Wait until the water has run out of the water heater.
If it does not start to flow out properly, you can blow
gently into the tap at the sink. Place a bucket under
the drain to catch the water.
5. Turn on the switch for the water pump on the control
panel, and leave the taps on the sink and in the washroom
open for approximately 30 seconds in either the hot or
cold position, or until all the water has dripped out.
6. Press the flush button of the cassette toilet and hold the
button down until only air comes through.

Don't forget to empty the fresh water hose for
the cassette toilet by holding down the push
button until only air comes.
7. Turn off the switch for the water pump. The taps in
the washroom and at the sink should be left open.
The drainage valve for the water should be left open.
The drainage valve for the water and drain tank must
be closed.
Don't forget to empty the drainage system as well before
pitching. See "Emptying the drainage system" on page 55.
