5.1.12 For Containers

1. All water remaining in the container should be disposed of so that the container is empty. (If the
container is an onboard tank, it should be removed if possible.)
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 disinfectant/sterilant
solution and allowed to stand for the recommended contact time (e.g. Milton for 15 minutes).
5. The solution should be emptied from the container.
6. The opening of the container should be cleaned thoroughly with an appropriate pre-prepared wipe
impregnated with a disinfectant/ 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.

5.1.13 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 system by using the pump with a disinfectant/sterilant solution. (Check that the solution at full
strength appears at all taps/showers.) Allow to stand for the recommended period of time.
4. Drain the system down completely.
5. Thoroughly clean the outside of all taps/connections 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.
7. Replace the filter
Suitable sterilising chemicals are available from your caravan dealer, accessory shop, chemists or
home-brew shops. It is not, however, recommended to use bleach or sodium metabisulphite.
This guidance has been prepared with the kind co-operation and assistance of The Environmental
Health Department of The Borough Council of King's Lynn and West Norfolk.

5.1.14 Caravan Keys (Senator only)

Each Senator model is fitted with a high security lock and is supplied with two identical keys. In the
event of both keys being lost these cannot be replaced. In this instance a new lock will have to be fitted
with a fresh set of keys. Each model is also supplied with two standard keys which are for use on the
other exterior access doors.
