Yes, you can continue to return items as normal as long as you follow the government guidelines about leaving your house.

You might think you don’t need to drain down your caravan, especially if it will be stored indoors, but as you never know quite how harsh the winter is going to be and given that temperatures can still plummet to way below freezing, even in a barn or outdoor building, it is always recommended that you drain down before the winter. For more information about the Floë Induratec 636 integrated drain down system or their other products visit www.keepfloeing.com where you can watch their “how to” video . Ensure the device is connected to the outside of your caravan (where the water normally goes in) and then connect the air source at the other end. Switch on the pump and build up the pressure to 15 psi. Once this is done you can empty your kitchen taps, bathroom taps and shower, one by one, as you’ll find that the pressure will force the remaining water to come out. If you have mixer taps, it’s important to empty both hot and cold water, as they come from a different place in your water system. After every tap release, build up the pressure again, ready to empty the next one.This is an important one. If the winter is harsh, left over water in pipes can freeze, expand and split pipes. The water then continues to flow and floods your caravan.

Step 4: Open each tap in your caravan or motorhome individually, including the shower, until all are drained. This product may not be suitable for caravans with onboard fresh water tanks. If a tank is present, make sure that there is a manual or electric diversion, that allows water to be drawn directly from the outside water barrel, straight to the taps. Tanks contain air vents that will leak air pressure. In this event, please use our Floë Caravan & Camper Drainage Kit – APT 0105 Floë has been tested and scientifically proven by the University of Ulster, to remove more than 99.9% of any stale water, bacteria or biofilm, leaving your system fresh and empty for next season.It has also been proven in winter frosts, to protect the intricate components of your water system such as your pipes, boiler, shower and taps. Now the water is switched off, flush the toilet. This empties most of the water from the cistern and makes sure that any water left has been treated with the antifreeze. Not only does draining down remove any remaining water to prevent problems with frozen pipes, but it also ensures you are not left with stagnant water in your system.

Winter is around the corner and if you’re planning on laying up your motorhome or caravan for winter then you’re going to need to drain down your water systems. It’s also wise to take anything valuable home with you and open wardrobes and bedroom doors. This will show anyone looking to break in that there’s nothing of value left to take. Also, leaving internal doors open will help improve the airflow around the caravan while you’re away. Here we take a look at the new integrated Floë system, which will drain down your caravan or motorhome in just two minutes by using compressed air to blow any excess water out of your pipes and taps. It’s also an effective way of getting rid of any stale water and build-up of algae to make way for fresh drinking water. It will also cleanse your water system by removing any stale water and build-up of bacteria left lingering in the pipes, as well as cleanse the inside of the boiler heat exchanger, saving you up to 15% on gas. If you have a static park home or a holiday home with a closed water system (no water tanks in the attic), then this is the long time absence and winter drain down kit for your needs.
