In this video, I demonstrate how to make a dual purpose PVC internal pipe for your caravan aquaroll. The pipe is used to fill up the aquaroll in a clean and hygienic way, while also reducing airlocks by keeping the pump at the bottom of the aquaroll.
What you need to install the internal pipe
Plumbing items:
PVC pipe - diameter is 1½"/44mm and the length is 18½"/47cm
plastic nut - 1½" (T8M)
black rubber washer 1½"
Tools for the job:
knife and/or sharp chisel
measuring tape
pencil
saw
drill
size 13 drill bit
sand paper
Products I use include:
Whale Watermaster - Easi-Push Plug
Whale Watermaster High Flow 921 pump, complete with hose Whale Part No. EP1612
Aquaroll 40 Litre Tank (CCW 1037)
Aquaroll 40 Litre Cover (CCW 1105)
Aquaroll Float Valve (CCW 10411)
Whale Aquasource Water Filter 12mm (WF1230)

What a great idea. I was thinking how it would work with using an internal float too, so thanks for showing that.

Super idea, thanks for sharing now into 2nd season with it. I just did one small mod and that was to super-glue the rubber seal to the top of the tube to keep it in place. Thanks again.👍🏻

My aquaroll uses a water filter and not a pump an is always sucking air even with a weight in line. this is a great idea, I have been pondering a solution for a while, and this will do nicely thanks.

Hopefully this works for you. It's also worth checking the rubber rings around the connections. A few years ago I replaced the O rings. Worked a treat!

For the filler tube mod, rather than drilling holes at the base, I have cut the tube end at 45 degrees

@thecavancrew 3 жыл бұрын

That's a great idea. And quicker to make. Is it still secure while in the tank? I haven't had any issues with the holes. Thanks Evin

Please note; I understand 38mm pipe is a continental size and not readily available in the UK. 40mm is and would easily fit in the Aquaroll neck but until I try, I’m not sure if a 40mm nut would be able to be trimmed down to fit like in the video. I still think it’s a really good idea and will be giving this a go myself.

@thecavancrew 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Roger, let me know how you get on. The 1 1/2 inch or 44mm diameter pvc pipe should work with the 1 1/2 plastic nut. Looking forward to hearing how you get on. Thanks. Evin

@stevengibson445 2 жыл бұрын

I’ve just tried this with the nut for the 40mm and it only goes half way into the opening when trimmed.

@joshnnik 2 жыл бұрын

@@stevengibson445 Steve, mine was a really tight fit but did go down for a flush fit. The drawback was it made the cap a tight fit on the threads. A hacksaw cut through the side of the “nut” cured this by just reducing it’s diameter when pushed into the Aquaroll’s neck. I’ve done this modification to both my Aquarolls and reckon it’s a really great improvement as I was always getting to the water tap and realising that I’d forgotten the filler pipe.

@susanwhitley812 3 ай бұрын

I am totally new to caravaning, so is the aquaroll to purely to stop air getting into the caravan, or is it specifically the water supply for the caravan, and why does the caravan need an aquaroll if it can connect to a mains water supply on site? Help please?

Hi my pump and filer is a whale but a single pipe so will the carbon filter fit inside the pipe, mine is the aqua smart wf3000, hope it dose so I can do that pipe.

@lauriebarton4411 3 жыл бұрын

Just a question...is the tube diameter 1 1/2" or 44mm, because 1 1/2" converted is 38.1mm?

@thecavancrew 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Laurie. The outside tube diameter is 44mm, while the instead diameter is 1 1/2" (or 38.1mm). It is a standard pipe, often referred to as an 'inch and a half'. Hope that clarifies. Evin

Hi Paul, you will find them in most hardware stores or plumbing suppliers. It's a one and a half inch loose nut (code t8m). Hope that helps.

If this is waste pipe, it won't be food grade quality plastic. Not a problem for us as we use bottled water for drinks but just a thought!

Great idea but pipe went uphill out of van surely that's wrong

@thecavancrew 2 жыл бұрын

Pull the aquaroll away from the caravan, so the pipe comes straight out. (This has the added benefit of protecting the side of the caravan from getting marked by the aquaroll.)

@mshumphries9552 2 жыл бұрын

Sounds like you are not using the pump correctly in the first place. Set the rubber cap on the pump hose the height of the barrel and it won’t curve up. In 20 years I have never pulled air in to the system. Set it up correctly in the first place and you don’t need to do any of this.
