So the time has come for us all to own up and tell whats happened to our vans and if we are using a certain type of heater has it worked or did it still freeze up with it on in the van?
Well my van was bad and with a -12 on xmas eve morning and a -10 on xmas morning i didnt check my van and only checked it on boxing day and when i did i discovered that my pre filter bowls had cracked right through the top where they screw in and had dropped to the floor, my remaining water in my tank had frozen solid(3rd left in bottom maybe less) so i started up my van to try and generate some heat to try and take off the 3 microfibres that i had put around my strainer bowl at my pump to see if it was done too, well 3 hours later i had enough heat in van to find this out, took it off and the strainer bowl was fine or so i thought, kept defrosting so that i could find out if my pump was working or not and in the end it was thankfully so i left it then went to buy a heater as the van inside was able to take -5 the friday before with the duvet wrapped around it so i didnt buy one before(wish i had now) next morning i woke to find my drivers side footwell covered in water and it was frozen solid!!!! the wee bowl had a leak in it and it was just dripping steadily all night so i then made the decision to get rid of all remaining water in the tank so no more could drip out until i got a replacement part. Not a happy time, filters and filter bowl are replaced so i went to check to see if my RO was still working, first bit went through at 36ppm, started to panic so i tipped it out waited and checked again 16ppm and again 10ppm, then it went to to 4ppm and then back to 1ppm as normal so my bowls busting in a way saved my RO as did my duvet around it.
So what about you lot??
