The easy way to draw water from the mains supply into the caravan, with no electrical connections required. Provides protection against flooding as an automatic valve will stop water spraying when plug is removed. Hello, I have a 2020 Bailey Unicorn Vigo and I am connecting it directly to the mains water tap on the pitch using a Whale Aquasource Mains Connector. I thought this would be a good idea, as it means I wouldn’t need an Aquaroll. The easy connector from tap to caravan for continuous water supply. No need to carry heavy water containers. Allows a reliable continuous supply of water. Delivers water without using battery power. Ensure Watermaster Mains is kept in a clean dry storage area away from direct sunlight when not in use

All very well - but what you might have forgotten is that the caravan is put together by unskilled labour, so there is a very good chance that at least one push fit joint isn't made correctly and you will end up with a soggy caravan. Please Note: To use the Watermaster Mains Water Hook Up with an onboard Smartflo pump, the inlet strainer (if included with the pump) must be removed.In high value products, like aircraft and ship's storage tanks, pressure regulators are never used as we have as a single valve, but supplemented with a pressure relief to the safety valve. Otherwise the plane's wing of ship's hull could be over stressed by an unfortunate particle of debris. To me my caravan is of high enough value, it's well being is never going to be reliant on a standalone pressure reducing valve. Suitable for use with caravans and motorhomes with either microswitch or pressure switch systems. Regulates mains water pressure to nominal 1.5 bar (max. 1.8 bar). Ideal for use in UK and European Parks with mains water hook-up facilities. We took delivery of a new Coachman 575VIP in June 2018. One weekend to get used the van and then off to Spain and France for three weeks in July. I do have an aquaroll that I have never used. I could get a float valve arrangement for this, and use this in the direct to tap connection. I believe the aquaroll connector to the van has a pump on it, would this improve pressure? Are we likely to get a better water pressure in the caravan if we used a Aquaroll with the supplied 12 V water pump system & ditch the Aquasource connection? Are there any settings/adjustments that can be made to the Alde water heater, incoming water? Any advice would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks

I would echo John19's comment " Others would have to make their own judgement on the condition of their caravan pipework". The water pressure in the caravan is absolutely dismal using the Aquasource & and we are getting increasingly frustrated with it. The water pressure at the tap on the pitch is quite powerful, and I do appreciate that the Aquasource has an inbuilt pressure reducer, however, I really cannot believe the water pressure in the van should be this low. The poor water pressure is making the shower virtually on unusable and it takes an absolute age to do a simple thing like fill the washing up bowl up. We are quite new to caravanning, this being only our third outing and we have always used this connection (we’ve never actually use the Aquaroll yet). Are there any obvious faults or issues that I should look out for? Probably a stupid question, but should the water pump switch on the Control Panel be switched on or off whilst using the Aqua source connection? Might the low pressure because by something unconnected (i.e. surge damper, filter etc)? Yes, you can continue to return items as normal as long as you follow the government guidelines about leaving your house. I don't drink water I work with and like most people with modern caravans, I don't drink the water from the caravan water system, (due to the TCP taste) so if you used some Pet Jelly, it wouldn't cause you any problems if you only wash and wash up with it.

I have never connected to the "via tank" connection, mainly because I don't really understand how it works, and gives me another thing to drain when we leave. My van is a 2013 Sterling Elite Emerald with the on-board water tank. On the outside of the van there are two connections, straight to taps or via tank. TheWHALE Watermaster Mains Water Connectioncan be used as a hose pipe by fitting the plug adaptor to the plug, which will allow water to flow.
