FLOE drain water down system

[TINHUTONWHEELS]

Just winterished the caravan using the FLOE water drain down system. Did expect to get well over 2ltrs of water out of an already drained down system !!!
Very simple to use, although a electric type pump does make life easier. Keeping it to 15psi and then going around ever tap in turn and opening them open until empty of water.
Seems to be a lot of money (£40squid), but its paid for its self in one easy go.

Waste of £40 IMHO which could be better spent of using the caravan over the winter. All we do is open the drains for the water system, open the taps so that the natural movement of the caravan back to the storage yard empties it anyway. We also remove the filter and make sufre the shower hose is empty. Being doing thsi for years with no adverse problems.
So what if you have a cup full of water left in the boiler as when it expands it has lots of room to expand. Same applies to the pipework as the drops have plenty of room to expand without causing any damage.

Actually in agreement there surfer, looked at in some magazine or other and thought no as well.

Have a read of "Last time out for a while" in this forum....there seem to be mixed views on whether to fork out 40 odd quid for a bit of kit that can be fairly easily cobbled together for far less.Also quite a few contributors ask the question,"Why bother after thirty odd years of draining down with no problems?" I thought of making one but am not so sure whether to bother now.
