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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
@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
@@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
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
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
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 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.

Should also stick couple corks bungs in drain outlets & fill & leave that couple hours at same time .fill up till water comes back sink plug hole.

First time cleaning our caravan pipes. This is an easy to understand step by step guide. Well done!
Hi Thanks for watching and for commenting, Its very nice of you to say, it makes it worth while doing the vlogs. Happy Camping, James
Very helpful vide but music is too loud. Quite distracting.

Fantastic just ordered of amazon and your video has given me step by step to use .....thank you
Thank you so glad we could help. Happy Camping James
2 or 3 full Aquarolls is all that needed to flush through. (Doesn’t harm you if you don’t do this cleaning that has become a recent popular item)
You should do the taps separately so that the flow is faster through the pipe which will wash more muck off the interior of the pipes.
Hi Rob, Thanks for watching and commenting,. Good Bit of advise, Happy Camping James
You shouldn't leave your hook up cable in a coil as it can cause a fire.

We use Puri Clean for our van , not got a bad word to say about it👍Mark & Coral
Thanks Guys, I have tried a few other products but alway come back to PuriClean
@Ike Devlin keep us updated. Let us know how you get on.
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?

How about making a video on those noisy water pumps under the seat. A real issue that we would all love s solution to . 🙏🏻

Whale states that submersible pumps should never be run continuously for more than 15 minutes.

On the tub of Puriclean I have it says on the tub it should be left in the system for up to twelve hours.
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

You are more than welcome. I'm glad I could help. Happy Camping, James
is the hot water heater on when you do this or just running cold through the hot water pipe?
Hi, no hot water, not on. I'm just running cold through. Hope that helps. James
I note you didn’t mention cleaning the toilet flush system as a build up in there can damage it.
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
Great video easy to follow 👍
Thanks Paul, glad it was of use. Happy Camping all the best James
Do you need to remove the water filter under the sink?
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
As we don’t drink from the taps other than boiling it for hot drinks would you still change the filter? Can’t it be removed and cleaned?

Great video but not everyone has access to running water in storage and it would be impossible to sterilise for 24 hrs whilst away on your first trip

As obviously have car take full container to storage with you 😢
Wouldn't bicarbonate of soda and white vinegar do a better job for a whole lot less money? Just curious to see what you think.
Hi Mark, thanks for your comment, In all honesty it probably will. There's an idea for future vlog, comparison of the 2 methods. Happy Camping. James

Good video James but why didn’t you run some of the Puriclean down your shower waste pipe?
Thank you. I did. I put the shower head in the sink save the water going everywhere. Sorry if it wasn't clear 🙂
Hi there, not sure if you mentioned this, but should you not change out any filters / or clean them when using the Puriclean?
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
Can you flush it with hot water in the System 👍
I don't see it being a problem but Puraclean is designed to be used with cold water. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching. James
What about the filter you never mention that
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
Can you drink water with this in?

Would hydrogen peroxide be a good alternative?
