To operate the system on gas, use the control panel inside the caravan which can be found mounted on the wall. You can identify the state of the heater using the indicator lights on the front of the panel. If you have the Cascade 2 GE then your water heater also operates on V mains electric. This is a real benefit because you can run both gas and electric at the same time in order to speed up the heating process.
Included with this is a copy of the step-by-step installation instructions — very handy if you plan to remove and reinstall. Heater does not operate Battery condition low causing pump to run slowly. When switching on, green light comes on and after 10 seconds the red as well. Check and charge battery. If not successful check wiring. Red light comes on after about mins. With water and steam from cowl. If not successful check wiring 1c: Switch off.
Seek warden attention 2a: Switch off and seek service attention 2b: Reset button. Right peeps I am off to work now but tomorrow I shall begin in earest. Thank you all of you. I will let you all know the outome. Mar 21, 0 0. Hi Hutchy, Normally, when setting up, after filling the aquaroll and connecting the pump you switch the hot tap on with the water heater switched off to purge the system of air and to fill the hot water tank.
You should hear some wheezing, gurgling and spitting coming from the tap before a steady flow of water. When you get that steady flow it means that the air is gone and the hot water tank and pipes are full of water - you can then switch on the water heater and, after 20 minutes or so, enjoy hot water!
If you switch on the water heater with the tank empty you can trip the thermostat and then you'll only get cold water! There is a button on the end of the water tank you can press to reset it if this happens. If there's water coming out of the hot tap but not the cold then it's likely to be a faulty microswitch on the cold tap - try another cold tap or try switching on the cold tap with the hot tap on - to get water to run out of the tap you need two things: The tap needs to be open, and The pump needs to be running courtesy of a microswitch As long as any one microswitch is "on" the pump will be running and water should flow out of all open taps.
Hope this helps. Hi Colin You are exactly right. The cold tap works when the bathroom cold tap runs but as soon as I turn off the bathroom washbasin tap the kitchen sink tap stops. So it is a "micro switch" problem. Is there a solution I can try myself without going to a proffesional or do I have to live without cold water in the kitchen area? Thank you also John, Gary, Parksy and Sprocket. Aug 14, 53 0 0. Thanks for the post gary I'm fitting a cascade 2 next week so all the info will help if i have any issues.
Aug 25, 1 0 0. Please forgive me as I am a newbie so hope it's ok to add to an existing thread on the same subject. My question is related to the Carver Cascade water heater.
I initially noticed that water was leaking from the drain plug even when fully screwed in so replaced that no problem. That then led to a new leak which appears to be coming from the cold water inlet valve can someone confirm I have understood correctly - the valve that enters the bottom right corner when looking from INSIDE the van is the cold water inlet? On attempting to unscrew it from the housing it snapped so there is a section of valve left inside the housing.
From a brief bit of research it seems this is not too uncommon but I have not found a solution so far. Many thanks. Jun 23, 1 0 0. Please can someone advise on my problem? I have the cascade 2 GE water heater, when i open the cold water taps I get cold water but nothing happens when i open the hot water taps, I have tried the kitchen, the bathroom and shower taps.
I have also tried turning on the cold tap so the water pump is running and then opening a separate hot tap while the pump runs but still nothing. The caravan is Damian Moderator. Mar 14, 7, 25, There is a non return valve on the cold water inlet to the water heater, which has failed and needs replacing, which may involve removing the heater depending on room available to do it. It is a delicate operation as the heater is easily damaged if the wrong way of changing the valve is used.
Better to get a mobile engineer to do it for you. Don't either gas or electric until you have this fixed as you will cause severe damage. Apr 17, 4 0 0. Hi, I am new to caravaning and have a related issue, I have just bought my first van, a Abi award Globestar. We have a carver cascade 2 system. We have no running water at all, the pump is working outside we can hear it running. I emptied the filter out so I can see inside the cap, at first it didnt fill up with water but when I loosened the cap it did fill up so I tightened the cap.
I can ear the heater tank fill with water and gets warm, I have tried the mixer taps in bathroom and kitchen but nothing at all comes through. Also the carver control panel lit up when we first bought it but now has no lights coming on.
Any help appreciated. Hi mwheaton, and welcome to the forum. PDF You will find a copy of the instructions for the Cascade Rapide, which in terms of the way to fill and use it will be good, but you may find you have a different wall switch. But based on your description, and assuming what you tell us is accurate, You tell us the heater fills up, and gets warm.
IF you cannot get any water through your taps then that suggests there is a problem with the pipes or taps after the heater. You then tell us the heater worked once, but now is apparently dead with NO lights. There are no normal operations that would cause this, so I am led to suspect a supply fuse may have blown. This suggests there is a fault with the heater or its supply. Only attempt to remove the heater if you are fully competent at making or breaking gas couplings.
Gary who runs arcsystems not only has wide experience of Carver products, but he also has access to some spares and repair facilities, so it might be worth dropping him and email or phone call.
Hi, thanks for the reply. The heater still fills up when pump switched on and will still get hot to touch when I turn on the fused switch near the floor but I think this is the emergen heater switch? The main control switch with the 3 lights does not light up at all but did once.
I have checked all of the fuses in the fuse box, we did have a 5 amp out which I have changed but still no change. I am planning on having a full service done as its an old van but would like to get the water running first lol, someone on the site suggested the non return valve?
