Can you use a foot pump to deliver water to a gas califont?

Hi team

I am setting up a hot water system in my food caravan. I have a 5 litre gas califont, this will only be used for hot water to wash dishes. Would a foot pump be sufficient to deliver water to califont, or will I require a 12v electric pump?

Cheers
Gareth

You would need an electric pump that is capable of delivering the required pressure.
However, being a catering van you must comply with all the relevant gas safety requirements applicable to your location.

Just in case any UK caravanners like the look/sound of the Califont, they are not approved for use in the UK in touring caravans.

Look on the Califont for the specs there may be a minimum constant input pressure so you will need a suitable pump or mains connection or the opportunity to switch between them.
