The below article is provided to us by Colin Young of the Caravan Council of Australia. The Grey Nomad Awards are judged by senior tourism professionals, some of whom have personal experience with the grey nomad lifestyle, thus being selected a finalist has more weight. By this, we mean that we wish to recognise the accomplishments of all of our entrants, not just these finalists. Unfortunately, not everyone who enters can be successful,” Morgan explained, “since there is both a minimal bar for being considered as a finalist and a maximum of just six finalists declared in any category. The number of organisations who submitted more than one category, she noted, shows that these Awards are recognised and make an impact. “After such a hard two years for the tourism sector and destinations that rely on tourist incomes, all finalists are to be applauded. The Awards highlight those operators and locations who are going above and beyond to provide grey nomads an exceptional experience,” Morgan says. The Grey Nomad Awards, according to Awards Director Kim Morgan, give reliable information that assists senior tourists in making decisions about where to visit, stay, and play. The Grey Nomad Awards finalists were unveiled yesterday, recognising tourism businesses that best cater to mature age travellers around Australia. Tip: The above system could also be used as a cold shower system if required. Note: These are only a suggestion on what ‘Overthetop’ carries on board and uses when required but can vary on brand or location.
Twin core cable, plug & swtich – $50.00.Water Pump (Depending on Brand) – $120.00.Water fittings – male/female snap fittings assorted $10.00.Water Hose – 1 x rolls of drinking water hose $42.00/20 metre.Waterproof Case (good for storing additional filters and fittings) 330mm x 280mmx 120mm – $79.00.CostĮstimated Costs involved to set up a similar system. This cartridge exceeds the tough NSF rating by nearly double and is independently tested and certified.įrom here we can pump directly into the caravan water tanks, giving you the extra water to stay longer in one location. The treatment ratings are up to 10 litres per minute for 40,000 litres with good sediment tolerance as well. The first filter is a 1 micron polyspun sediment cartridge, the second filter is a Matrikx CR1, 0.5 micron rating for >99.99% chlorine and >99.99% for Cryptosporidium & Giardia cysts. You can also change the fittings to enable it to be installed internally to filter water from the storage tank and can be fitted with hose tails. It can be fitted with quick connect hose fitting so when you are at a caravan park, filtered water is supplied to the van, it is also useful to filter the water into the vans storage tank when filling them. This twin system is designed to be used in a variety of ways. The unit pictured below is a PSI Water Filter which can be purchase online from PSI Water Filters. It is a good idea to allow up to 4 metres of drinking water hose with snap fittings to join it all together, with another 4 metre length used to join the pumping unit with you caravan inline filter. Whereas with the tank being empty, the relay is turned ON, thus, the motor starts working.įurthermore, for the nighttime, the battery is already charged to power up the circuit.For Water Pump protection it is a good idea to insert an inline water filter that has a washable, removable stainless steel screen attached and a one way valve to prevent any water loss. If the tank is full, IC2 turns OFF the relay switch, hence, turning the motor OFF. Subsequently, the IC2 checks the water level in the tank. In the meanwhile, IC1 charges the battery through the solar panels attached. During the daytime, the solar panel directly powers the circuit. After that, the circuit operation starts. For this purpose, attach the two probes at the highest and the lowest level of the tank, respectively.
Secondly, for the other part of the circuit, connect probes to the ICs and water tank. Then, remove the battery supply and connect the 4AH or 4.5AH sealed lead acid battery to the circuit. After that, set 100KΩ variable resistor such that the LED lights up. In the beginning, the circuit is operated through a separate power supply of 7.5V. Whereas, the other half of the circuit is the detection of water level and turning the motor ON/OFF, accordingly. At first, charging the battery from the solar panel takes place.
Firstly, the circuit is divided into two parts.
