Thanks for watching and commenting. That's not bad advice. it helps keep the smells down. Although not as essential as the water system as it is used for drinking and washing, etc. Happy Camping. James
Useful, though I'd suggest NOT continuously topping up the external aquaroll tank from the garden hose whilst running the caravan taps, to flush out the Puriclean at the end. As you say, you are continuously 'diluting' the Puriclean - theoretically you'll never get rid of the Puriclean completely - it's just some sort of 'exponential decay', mathematically. Better to let the Aquaroll run dry (if your pump doesn't object), then refill the Aquaroll with fresh water and repeat. I'm about to use Puriclean for the first time - thanks for the tips.
Hi, thank you and sorry about the music. this was in the early stages of vlogging when I was getting used to editing. I don't do it that way anymore. only use music when needed. sorry, it was distracting for you. All the best and happy camping. James
Hello, thanks for watching and commenting. You are correct about not leaving the hook up cable cooiled when in use and pulling a high current load. The caravan was in storage as such, being on the Drive, and the only load was via the battery charger, so there is no risk. I should have made that clear in the vlog. Thanks for highlighting it, though, and if I was to use more systems in the Caravan, I would have unwound it.
so what your saying is you clean the system and then you flush it using a hose which has biofilm most likely i.e re infecting your system? or have you puricleaned your hose first?
Hi Ken, Thanks for commenting, I agree, I guess its about reducing the risk, I clean the caravan water system, and before flushing although didn't show it flush the hose through, I also use compressed are when I have finished using the hose to blow through any residual water, to reduce the chance of any build up of possible contaminants. It might be worth investing in a food grade hose for this very purpose, Thanks for watching and happy camping.
Hi, great Idea. I will get it sorted over the next couplen of weeks after I am back from France. I have actually sorted the issue. We'll improved the situation by adding some antivibration mounts. I actually did this before I started Vloging. I will get one done though to help others out. Thanks for commenting and watching. Happy Camping. James
I’m fairly new to all this and found your video brilliant. I’m going to get some of this to clean my system today. On completely separate note I’ve noticed your orange power lead is quite tightly coiled under the van. I was advised that this can be dangerous?
Hello, thank you. I'm glad I could help. You are correct. The orange kead should not be coiled up under the caravan when in use. This could be a fire hazard if you are using devices that will be pulling lots of current. I should have probably moved the lead or uncoiled it. As the Caravan was on the drive at the time being stored, it wasn't in use so safe to store the cable thia way. Hope that helps, and thanks for watching. Happy Camping. James
I agree it does say up to 12 hours, If you can leave it for 12 hours that would be great, I would assume it also depends on the usage and last time the water system was cleaned. Thanks for watching
Hi, Good question. I don't have one on our caravan. What I would recommend doing is doing the system clean before replacing the filter once done fit the new filter. The filter should be changed annually at a minimum anyway, depending on how often you use the Caravan. Hope that helps. James
@Lucio cancellara yes I would still change it as it will continue to pick up particles and become blocked. They are normally disposable items depending on the type you have fitted. Some can be taken out and cleaned. Hope that helps James
Hi good advise, I didn't know that. 15 minutes of flushing with clean water should be sufficient. Thanks for watching and commenting Happy Camping James
Hi Thanka for commenting. I have that planned as a separate vlog as with this one I wanted to concentrate on the fresh water system.. thanks for watching James
@@CaravanEscapades101 Hi James,I checked it out and it's not a good idea apparently!! Our first test run is next weekend so making sure everything is ok. Have a great weekend 😁
@@mickdebergerac1143 Thanks Mick, I am assuming something to do with the seals and the plastic and how the Bi Carb and Vinegar will affect them. We will be back out in the Caravan Next Weekend, Hope yo9ur first test run goes well. Happy Camping. James
@11sutty, thanks for you comment and a very valid point. That's got me thinking I wonder if there are other systems that can clean the pipes down with no access to running water. I will do a bit of research and if I can find anything I will do a vlog on it. Thanks for watching and happy camping
Hi no just run it through cold but make sure the PuiClean Solution in the water fills the hot tank and sits for a while before flushing through. Thanks for the question
@@caravaningincarathevan467 Hi our system dosent havs a filter as such so no didn't change it. Also on older caravans that I have had I have not changes the filter when using puraclean just changed it as and when requires due to usage. Normaly about every 6 months.
Hello. Thank you for your comment. No you can't drink water containing Pura Clean, you need to flush the system with clean water once you have finished cleaning and sterilising. Hope that helps and happy camping. James
Hello Kevin White. I wouldn't think it would be a good idea for the drinking water system at all. You would need to be sure you got rid of 100% of the residue in the complete water system and it may also have an effect on the stainless steel components in your water boiler. Even Milton attacks the stainless steel parts. Hope that helps. Happy Camping. James
Hi Jim, our system dosent have a filter. I will try and get to a caravan that has an inline filter and see if I can sort a vlog with filters. Thanks for commenting. James
Hi Most Caravan and Camping accessories shops sell it. Go Out Doors sell it also you can buy it online from places like Amazon. Hope that helps and thanks for watching. Happy Camping James
Hi thanks for commenting. Yes if fitted for sure change out the filters. This caravan didn’t have one fitted. Thanks for watching and Happy Camping. James
@nickdash7218 Yeah, sorry about that, it was in my early stages of vlogging, and I was still getting used to editing. Point taken, it won't happen again 😁
