On Tour with GRANDER – at Sea or on the Road

Supreme water quality on a ship or boat, in a motorhome, or caravan

On Tour with GRANDER – at Sea or on the Road Walter Nothegger
More and more people are falling for the freedom afforded them by traveling by boat or motorhome. Whether they head for a new destination every day or stay at a particularly pretty spot for a while – mobile living quarters keep them flexible at sea, on a lake, a river, or on the road. Thanks to GRANDER®, water hygiene will never be a problem: enjoy high-quality, revitalized water wherever you go.

Mobility and flexibility should not come at the cost of high-quality water. Most motorhomes have quite similar water systems, which hardly differ from plumbing systems on boats. Most boats and motorhomes are equipped with onboard water tanks to store water while you are on the go. These tanks are usually filled with water using a hose or canisters. To this end, there are various pipes and lines, connecting to:

  • taps
  • shower facilities
  • water heaters
  • the toilet flush

As water is stored in the water tanks, pipes, and heaters for some time (stagnating water), where it is exposed to various kinds of nutrients and heat, bacteria and germs form and proliferate rapidly. Dilapidated pipes at water filling stations of camping sites or ports are also a cause for concern, particularly when water hygiene standards are not up to par. Most boats and motorhomes are only used in the summer months. This, of course, also affects water quality.

 

Tried and tested: GRANDER Flexible Unit

The GRANDER Flexible Unit has proven a good choice at sea or for your travels. It is the ideal solution for individual, accessible water lines, which are often encountered by travelers. Also available in pocket size, the units can be installed easily and quickly, supplying you with revitalized water throughout your entire holiday. The Nothegger family counts among the many users who swear by it for their flexible vacations.

The Kitzbühel-based family’s boat named ‘Cassiopeia’ lies at anchor in Croatia. The family has already spent countless amazingly beautiful hours on their boat. A 300-liter water tank stores the water for the boat’s kitchen and bathroom facilities. As the Notheggers mostly take a boat ride on weekends and hardly use the boat during the winter months, it sometimes happens that water remains in the tank for long periods. Germs and even algae can form, and the water turns foul, exuding an extremely unpleasant smell. The boat’s previous owner had many such tales to tell. To not suffer a similar fate, Walter Nothegger has been filling the water tank via a GRANDER Flexible Unit for many years. He reports that there are no foul odors or any other kinds of problems.

‘I have seen in other boats what it means when the water turns bad. The smell was very unpleasant and would stay forever. I have been relying on GRANDER, because it makes for great water quality and also keeps the water stable.’
