Caravan Water Adaptor: Overview

Product Category: Caravan Water Accessory

Price Range: £20-£30 (depending on accessories and retailer)

Best For: Caravanners on serviced pitches seeking constant water supply

Where to Buy: Available at Aquaroll’s official UK website or retailers like Amazon.co.uk


The Mains Water Adaptor for Aquaroll Float System is a clever bit of kit that connects your Aquaroll to a mains water supply, keeping your barrel topped up without manual refilling. Its simple float valve design makes it a strong candidate for the best caravan water adaptor for 2025, perfect for caravanners who want a hassle-free water solution on super pitches.


Key Features

Float Valve System: A ball valve screws into the Aquaroll’s side opening, automatically maintaining about 20 litres of water without direct mains pressure entering the caravan.


7.5m Food-Grade Hose: Comes with a reinforced hose to connect to site taps, ensuring safe, taste-free water delivery.


Universal Tap Connectors: Includes 1/2" and 3/4" quick fit adaptors, making it compatible with most campsite taps.


Pros and Cons

Pros:

  • Easy to set up with no tools needed.

  • Saves time by eliminating manual Aquaroll refills.

  • Avoids water system damage from over pressurisation, by avoiding direct mains connection.


Cons:

  • Hose length may be short for some pitches (additional hose needed).

  • Occasional reports of float valve sticking if not fitted correctly.


Performance

We tested the Mains Water Adaptor for Aquaroll on a serviced pitch in the Cotswolds during a damp spring weekend. Setup was a doddle—just screw the valve into the Aquaroll’s side, connect the hose to the tap, and it kept the barrel half-full without fuss. The float valve worked smoothly, cutting off water flow as expected, though we had to double-check the float was upright to avoid sticking. It’s a cracking solution for lazy caravanners, but you might need a longer hose for far-off taps.
