Bailey Autograph 79-4 (2017) slow water filling (4 Viewers)

[MerlinUK]

Hi

When it comes to topping up our on-board water tank using the official Whale hose. It takes an eternity.

Any thought as to what could be causing this or is it a known issue.

Thanks in advance.

I think there's 2 speeds of the pumps from what I read when I got mine, I use the whale plugin that the pump goes in the aquaroll and it fills about 10 litre a minute I think?

Mines a 2019 and goes direct through the whale without pump when topping up fresh water tank, But one of the problems is a kink after the whale which is under the seat in the lounge.

Mine fills no problem.

Just fit proper filler lots of bailey owners do it.

Please elaborate, what’s a proper filler?
We sick a hose pipe directly in the tank, bit of a pain though as you have to lift the carpet to get at the hatch.

Like what all Motorhomes have apart from Bailey.
A few options here.

I actually prefer this setup with the aquaroll as its better on my back .

Remove the non return valve which will speed up filling considerably. Do not overfill the tank.

This system is quite good as it allows for filling from an Aquaroll using a 12v pump (generally not supplied with the van) when you are on-site and don't want to keep moving the van to fill up.
