Comes with
A standard UK three pin plug and approximately 1m (3.3 ft) of electric cable
5 metres (16ft 5in) of airline. Flexible Fit for Your Static Caravan
Our airline is designed to run seamlessly, 3ft vertically through a wall, floor, or vent, before extending a generous 13ft 5in across your caravan. This setup is ideal for 14ft wide static caravans, with standard connections typically located about 1ft from the edge.
Need a longer reach? No problem. Check out our “Additional Airline” options on the product page, available in convenient 2m and 4m lengths to suit your needs.
15mm Tee Connection to the mains water line… Easy Connection to Your Mains Water Supply
Floë includes a convenient tee fitting designed to connect directly to your mains water line, installed between the main stopcock and where the pipe enters your property.
In some cases, your incoming water pipe may be a 20mm (approx.) blue or black alkathene plastic. This typically reduces to a standard 15mm pipe, compatible with our tee.
If your setup doesn’t allow a direct fit to 15mm, don’t worry…. we’ve got you covered. We offer a Reducing Kit available in 20mm (most common) and 25mm options. These kits allow a smooth transition from 20mm or 25mm down to 15mm for Floë’s tee, and then back up, ensuring a secure, leak-free connection.

This is a great product. I’m not great at DIY but this is so simple to install and only took 20 minutes to fit to my ABI Westwood.
It works perfectly and only takes me 10 minutes to complete a full drain down including my washing machine and dish washer. The DVD is also really useful. I would highly recommend Floe and I am doing to other owners on our park. Thank you

Like most people we thought we had drained our caravan. My sister told me about your product so we ordered it right away.
After watching the demo on your web site. we then tried it on the caravan and were delighted at how easy it was. As you would expect we got quite a bit of water out of the caravan pipes. We also tried it on the garden hoses.
I would recommend this without any hesitation to anyone with a caravan.

My First ever review, Device so good I felt I had to give it praise. As a static owner it saves us £70 park draindown fee, And gives us six more weekends to enjoy the van. Very Pleased. – Lawson Evans, Gilfach Goch, South Wales

Very fast delivery of an amazing product. I have been DIYing for over 50 years and NEVER had anything with such comprehensive instructions. I watched all the videos before starting the installation and everything was so easy to do. Very please with how easy this was to install and operate in my ABI Ambleside..

Buy it. I’ve fitted 3 now to my friendly neighbours vans after they’ve seen mine and at £80 a park drain down it’s paid for itself in 3 goes. Most of all it extends your seasonal and short visits use of your van to get maximum use. ( it’s staggering how much gunge gets flushed out when you first use it on an older van). Our static is an 11 month site so other than February we now can go anytime or even weekends on a whim and not incur any drain down costs as we do this ourselves in 15 minutes, so even if there’s no likelihood of frost we drain down anyway so we can forget about it. It baffles me why most vans don’t offer the floe as a built in option. Brilliant product.

Installed this over the weekend. Great product and really well made. Loads of little improvements to the ones I have seen on other reviews and YouTube. When running the unit is much quieter and smoother.
Took approximately an hour to install and if you have a vent under the boiler you basically don’t have to make any major holes.
Can now do a full drain down in 15 mins. This means I can visit my holiday home in spring and autumn and do a full drain down and have the peace of mind that if we get a cold snap everything will be nice and safe from freezing mishaps. Plus the £85 saving a year for the park to do a drain down on their own time, this will pay for itself within a couple of years. And all from the comfort of inside the holiday home. Will be recommending this to others on our park when I see them. Very pleased with this purchase.

I fitted this myself to our ABI Carnaby static 3 years ago so have used the floe unit dozens of times now. Firstly it’s paid for itself after 3 draindowns (£80 a pop at our site). But most of all you will use your van more because you are not hit with a peace of mind drain down charge every time you vacate your van during the cold months. Takes about 10 to 15 minutes to drain down the van, turn off the water supply, put the boiler in safe mode on its controls, switch on the floe compressor then simply keep opening and closing the taps, shower or toilet valves until they are spluttering only air out. Leave your taps etc open to let air circulate in the pipes, switch off the Floe unit then you’re off home. It’s that simple. We are an 11 month site except February so are here 11 months of the year on and off now without worrying about frost or drain down costs. Showed our install to 2 friends onsite who are keen users of their caravans and they immeadiately ordered floe units which they fitted. It’s November now and the only occupants onsite are the floe fitted vans and one without. It’s the best £230 I ever spent on the van.
