HEOS Water Connection (1 Viewer)

[Parker and Penelope]

Hello everyone,
I have a 2015 Exsis-T and want to use one of those water filler adaptors. Looks like the HEOS from my research. Any advice would be welcome. Cheers.

They are a great piece of kit ... I have used one for years.

If your fresh water tank does not have a breather you should get the HEOS with breather built in. Having said that it can be used on tanks with a breather as well .. so only one choice in my opinion.

I've looked at them before but I don't know whether it would fit and the flap close but looks a great bit of kit.

I've got one!

Wouldn't be without it

I was all set to order one, when someone on here said it would not fit their chausson, so I didn't bother.

Why does the flap need to close ????

My lockable water flap. Both my EHU connection and fresh water have lockable flaps on. Probably not the right word then.

Some MHs have a locking cover rather than a locking cap so I assume that's what he's got ...

You do know you're not supposed to leave it on all the time don't you? You're supposed to remove it after filling and put your original cap back on

No I didn't

Thank you @Minxy Girl.

Not sure what model of Exsis you have but I assume you've got some flaps like those shown behind the rear wheel on this:

We've got the proper Exsis. This is it but unfortunately the flaps aren't on show but they lock and slide away rather than lift up

On this picture you can see the water filler under the stripes at the rear on the burgundy one and the EHU between the windows (lower) on the blue one.

I used the Water Block (as previously mentioned) on my previous Hymer. I don't think the Hymer water tank has a ventilation facility so the Water Block is ideal as it's self ventilating.

I use a flat hose (on a cassette) so just use a short length of standard round hose with the Water Block and then connect to the flat hose. It's brilliant, but that's just my opinion. Very simple and effective.

the latest HEOS filler comes with a selection of inner clips to suit various filler types

 

[Parker and Penelope]

Thanks Funsters. Lots of useful advice which is just what I need - and will help many others in turn. One thing seems to be clear, none of these fittings has a cut off when the tank is full. My Exsis manual suggests looking at the inside display so it's still a two people job. I spoke to a guy at a mh service point last year and thought he said that his fitting included a shut-off allowing him to spend his time more usefully. Perhaps I misunderstood?

No they don't have a shut off but depending on how empty your tank is you may have time to go and empty the toilet cassette for example, or empty the grey waste, once the tank is full the excess water will either come out of your overflow if you have one or if not out through the filler point assuming you've remembered to set up the filler (ie alter the gubbings) to allow it to be an 'overflow' one.

Thanks Mindy Girl, very helpful, I will now treat myself!

 

[Wagoneer]

From memory, I think the Hymer fresh water tank has an overflow pipe. I seem to remember on my B544 that I just used to fill until water started trickling from the overflow.

 

[Parker and Penelope]

Thanks Waggoner, I shall have to do what you did and watch for the overflow.
