We have chosen to supply taps made by Comet because of their reputation for reliability, coupled with an understanding of what the mobile home requires.
The Comet Florenz Kompakt (Florence Compact) is a modern chromed lightweight tap. It feels quality, with a smooth resistance to all moving parts such as the tap spout, the mixer lever (left to right) and the adjustable flow (top to bottom).
CamperHappy.co.uk specifically chose to supply the Kompakt because it utilises domestic quality parts that should last a long time. It also of course looks great! The internal ceramic valve is a serviceable part in the event of a dripping tap. The aerator on the spout is removable for cleaning.
The tap spout rotates north to south a full 270 degrees and will stay exactly where you place it without dropping. The control lever to the right of the spout lifts to turn the tap on with a barely audible click to indicate the micro switch has engaged, the amount you lift the tap adjusts the water flow, perfect for the water conscious of us with small onboard tanks. The tap lever moves side to side to adjust the water temperature (mixer tap only).
We supply this tap as a retail pack. It includes the tap with crimped 30cm tails. The tails have 12mm push fit connectors that will work directly with standard caravan plumbing pipe. Also included are a set of hose-tail adapters that will allow connection to 8, 10 or 12mm flexible hose pipe (you will need Jubilee style clips). There is also adapter to allow connection directly to a 12mm push fit straight coupler.
Because these taps are fitted with an integrated micro switch you will find 2 small wires to the underside of the tap. These can be wired to interrupt the power supply to your submersible water pump. They are very easy to wire in and a quick search through YouTube will throw up a multitude of easy step by step videos you can follow. They will also work fine with a pressurised system where the pump is a stand-alone unit that turns on as soon as a top is opened. These systems often have a pump control switch on your electrical panel. Incidentally, we supply water tanks with integrated pressure switch pumps. please browse our site.
The tap manufacturer, Comet advises the tap will work safely with pressures up to 3 bar, water up to 65°C.
