BerndWelcome to alugha Travel.
0:05 → 0:14
BerndWater in a motorhome is always a bit tricky and today I'm going to talk about the Certec 3in1.
0:18 → 0:27
BerndWhen you're on the road with your motorhome or caravan or when you're camping, and you can even use this for an aquarium,
0:27 → 0:33
Berndthen drinking water or even taking water with you is always an issue.
0:33 → 0:42
BerndThere are a number of solutions. For example, we are currently having water issues at home and the city is adding chlorine to the drinking water,
0:42 → 0:49
Berndwhich is fine to a certain extent, and there are also people who do this in their motorhomes.
0:49 → 0:53
BerndBut there are also people who say that chlorine is a no-go.
0:53 → 0:59
BerndThey use for example these silver ion pads from Aquatec, which we also made a video about.
0:59 → 1:06
BerndAnd then there are others who say, silver ion pads? Are you out of your mind? No way!
1:06 → 1:17
BerndThen there are those who say you should use this filter, this buoy from Certec, this 3 in 1 buoy.
1:17 → 1:25
BerndWhy 3 in 1? It's designed to remove the biofilm, reduce bacteria and germs,
1:25 → 1:33
Berndand also rid my drinking water of algae or prevent algae growth.
1:33 → 1:40
BerndThey are available in different sizes: for 20 liters, 30, 100, 200 liters. Make sure you pick the right size for you.
1:40 → 1:45
BerndAccording to the manufacturer, this buoy lasts for a year
1:45 → 1:51
Berndand/or for around 9000 liters of filtered water.
1:51 → 1:57
BerndWhat's in the package? There's the buoy,
1:57 → 2:02
Berndthen there's a nylon string, I don't know if you can see it.
2:03 → 2:10
BerndAnd there's a little sticker to write down when you put the buoy in.
2:10 → 2:18
BerndYou put the date on it, because after 12 months you should actually take the buoy out again.
2:18 → 2:21
BerndSo, how does it work? It's actually really simple.
2:21 → 2:24
BerndMake sure you got the right size.
2:24 → 2:29
BerndThen attach the nylon string.
2:30 → 2:33
BerndTie the knot, attach the nylon string.
2:33 → 2:40
BerndLet's attach it here. Tie a knot and then you can use it and that's all there is to it.
2:40 → 2:44
BerndSo, how does it work? Open the cover.
2:45 → 2:48
BerndThen put it in the tank.
2:49 → 2:53
BerndLet's take a look into the tank.
2:59 → 3:00
BerndThen,
3:01 → 3:04
Berndjust put it in here. Like this.
3:05 → 3:11
BerndAnd, as you can see, it's floating up here. Can you see it? I'm not doing anything, it's actually floating.
3:11 → 3:17
BerndIt always floats on top, I don't have to hold anything.
3:17 → 3:20
BerndNow, let's tie it down a bit.
3:20 → 3:23
BerndI'll just wrap it around here.
3:25 → 3:27
BerndLike this.
3:28 → 3:32
BerndAnd then make sure there's enough string down there.
3:34 → 3:38
BerndLet's close this again and that's it.
3:40 → 3:43
BerndThat's all there is to it.
3:43 → 3:46
BerndAfter you put it in the water tank,
3:46 → 3:53
Berndit takes about three to five hours to really start working.
3:53 → 3:59
BerndSo, remember, put it in, wait three to five hours and then it starts working.
3:59 → 4:02
BerndThere are a few things to keep in mind though:
4:02 → 4:07
BerndFirst of all, once it's wet, you have to keep it wet.
4:07 → 4:11
BerndIn other words, don't empty the water tank completely.
4:12 → 4:17
BerndBecause if it dries, it's over. So, keep it wet.
4:17 → 4:24
BerndIf you want or need to empty the water tank completely, take the buoy out, put it in water somewhere else and you're good.
4:25 → 4:31
BerndSecondly, as I already mentioned, put it in the water before a drive,
4:31 → 4:39
Berndbecause then the water can splash around and get rid of the biofilm, if there is one.
4:40 → 4:42
BerndAnd then wait 3 to 5 hours.
4:42 → 4:50
BerndThe next thing you should be aware of, and I'm not going to sugarcoat it: where **** goes in, **** comes out.
4:50 → 4:55
BerndSo this thing is not designed for sewage or anything like that.
4:55 → 5:02
BerndMeaning, when you put in in water, make sure you put it in clean or relatively clean water.
5:02 → 5:08
BerndLike, for example, if you have a 30 meter long water hose at home
5:08 → 5:15
Berndand it's been lying around for two weeks, you don't just use it and fill your water tank with it. So keep that in mind.
5:15 → 5:23
BerndAfter a year, you should definitely take it out. It doesn't make sense to keep using it after it stops working.
5:23 → 5:27
BerndAnd you should definitely make sure that you use the right size
5:27 → 5:32
BerndSo, don't use a 100-liter capsule in a 200-liter tank.
5:32 → 5:36
BerndDon't put two 100-liter capsules in there, just use one 200-liter capsule.
5:36 → 5:38
BerndSo, how much does it cost?
5:39 → 5:41
BerndI'll put the link below.
5:41 → 5:52
BerndI bought this 3in1 capsule, this 100-liter capsule from Certec from Lilie GmbH in Germany, at Fritz Berger.
5:52 → 6:01
BerndI got a voucher for my birthday, so it was a good deal, and it cost about €22 or €23, I think.
6:01 → 6:09
BerndIt's about the same price everywhere, but as I said, I'll put the links below, both for Fritz Berger and Amazon. You can order it wherever you want.
6:09 → 6:15
BerndOh, and by the way, you can of course use this for the fresh water tank in your motorhome.
6:15 → 6:21
BerndIt even says you can put it in your aquarium if you want to,
6:21 → 6:26
Berndand you can also put it in water bags or canisters when you're on the road.
6:27 → 6:31
BerndThat's it. I'm Bernd, you're watching alugha Travel.
