Chapter 8: Water

8.1 General
We recommend that you inspect any water you have left in
the tank, this is very critical before using the water again.
• Always use water that is of drinkable quality when wor-
king with food. This also applies for washing your hands
or objects that come into contact with food.
• In order to ensure excellent water quality, water should
be taken directly from the public drinking water system.
• Garden hoses, watering cans and similar materials unsu-
itable for drinking water should never be used to fill the
mobile system.
• If the motor home has not been used for a longer period
of time, the entire water system must be emptied com-
pletely.
• After longer periods of stagnation, the water system
must be flushed thoroughly before being used. Should
you discover impurities, the material should be disin-
fected using suitable agents that have been approved for
such measures.

8.2 Water supply

Function of the water supply
Fresh water is supplied to the hot-air heating system, the
kitchen and toilette via a submersible pump. The TANDEM
submersible pump operates electrically:
- via the starter / ancillary battery,
- when the mobile home is connected to the 230V mains
via the power supply.
