WAT ER SYSTEM
Separate Water Containers
1. All water remaining in the container
should be disposed of so that the container
is empty.
2. The outside of the container should be
thoroughly cleansed and washed down to
remove any dirt, dust or other contaminant.
Water at a suitably hot temperature
containing an appropriate detergent is
recommended for this purpose.
3. Water should be put in the container,
swirled around, then emptied out.
4. The container should then be totally filled
with water containing an appropriate
sterilant solution and allowed to stand for
the recommended contact time
5. The solution should be emptied from
the container.
6. The opening of the container should be
cleaned thoroughly with an appropriate
prepared wipe impregnated with
a sterilant.
7. The container should be inverted whilst
stored overnight (if possible).
8. The container must be filled with mains
water only and mains water only should be
used for the above cleaning procedure.
9. On no account should garden hoses be
used to fill water tanks.
For Systems:
1. Drain down the system (open all taps to
allow air in, enabling the system to
drain quickly).
2. Remove any water filters fitted, and replace
with a short length of hose or empty
filter cartridge (this will ensure the filter is
not affected by the disinfectant/ sterilant
solution).
3. Fill the water system with a disinfectant/
sterilant solution (check that the solution at
full strength appears at all taps/showers). A
suitable container (not supplied) should be
used to collect this waste water for disposal.
Allow to stand for the recommended period
of time.

4. Drain the system completely.
5. Thoroughly clean the outside of all taps/
connectors with a cloth soaked in the
disinfectant/sterilant.
6. Flush the system through with clean
drinking water until no traces of disinfectant/
sterilant can be detected at any tap.
Suitable sterilising chemicals are available
from your motorhome dealer, accessory
shop, chemist or home-brew shops. It is not,
however, recommended to use bleach or
sodium metabisulphite.
Do not use products containing aggressive
agents for sterilising the water system.
Always use products designed for use within
stainless steel tanks available from your
motorhome dealer.
Note: Never use the water heating system
when disinfectant /sterilising fluid is present.
Doing so may damage the system.
Waste water system
1. The waste water holding tank is secured
below the floor of the motorhome, and is
gravity fed.
2. In order to eliminate unpleasant odours as
much as possible, only smooth bore pipes
are used.
Should the waste water tank be overfilled, it is
possible the waste water will back fill the pipes
until it eventually appears in the shower tray. In
order to prevent this, please monitor the water
level gauges on the motorhome control panel.
It is also possible to enable a 'waste tank full'
alarm, on the control panel.
The waste water tank is fitted with an
electricity operated valve, which when opened
will drain the contents of the waste water
tank. The valve is controlled using the control
panel above the motorhome entrance door,
please see further detail in the Swift Command
section of this handbook.
Fresh water system
1. All fittings, including the holding tank, water
pipes, taps and connections are of food
quality material (to BS6920) and therefore,
