Hi. Just picked up new swift Conqueror. This blue key was on the bunch, but nobody knows what it's for. Any ideas. Thanks

It's for removing the aerator from the mixer tap 😉

 

[Cen Roach]

Thanks. Would never have guessed that.👍

 

[GUMPY]

Neither would I but Google image search got it in one.

Don"t think I seen that with my keys for our caravan so is that for new ones only or do I need to get one?

My van was new, I can't see any reason why I would ever need to use it. 😁

Not a very good salesman if he didn't know what it was.

I agree . In the handover they said they had never seen one before. Must be on new models.

Oh you will need to use it as “crud” or hard water deposits build up on the tap aerators and restrict water flow.

Good point didn't think of that. Water quality does vary.

Most caravan taps have mesh filters. Screw or push fit. OP must have a different tap that needs the special tool.
As Clive says you will need to clean your taps sometime.Doubt you will need the tool described

Great thanks. This website is great. Never had so many replies 👍

Thanks DD that the answer I was looking for my AWS caravan engineer can do that for me .

I have a Swift Alpine 2. Swift Tap ends are a bit notorious for shooting off. Does the tool help to press them back on as well as take them off?
BTW if your tap ends do shoot off, dry them and the tap end. Line up the notch with the flange and press hard. Do not try to twist

Don't know yet haven't used it. Will let you know

Of course he can . But he won't always be there.
Come on BB caravanning is all about DIY😎.
A seasoned Forumite like you should be able to remove a blocked tap end filter😜

Do you actually have a problem with flow from your taps? Why didn’t you tell your service engineer when he came in April for its annual service. Would have been cheaper than a one off call out.
