We have one of those mains water connections that comprises a float valve in the Aquaroll.

When it works, it's great, but several times we've found a pool of water forming on the pitch, because the valve hasn't turned off and the barrel overflowing. We had the fitting replaced, but the same happened again. I think the valve is a rather cheap plastic affair and not really up to the job of mains water pressure.

I've seen a lot of people using the device that plugs straight into the caravan - a Whale Watermaster I believe. This looks like a far more satisfactory arrangement.

I believe it has a built in pressure reducer, so the caravan pipework isn't overcome by excess water pressure.

Does anyone have any comments on this system - good or bad?

I've heard the cautionary comments about coming back to find the caravan full of water, but has this actually happened to anyone, or is it an 'urban myth'?

    Hello Ian,

     

    We have just changed from a Truma direct in-line hose to a type you have. The reason mainly that the in-line valve started to play up and the pressure into the van increased, i was unsure what the pressure was and i couldn't find any information about setting the pressure, so have reverted to a float valve in the Aquaroll, but have made sure the valve works without stickking.

     Regards

    Richard
