I always run the last tankful of hot water through the pipes and into the Wastemaster to give them a good clean out and then continue until the cold runs out. Wastemaster goes to the drainage point and last few drops in Aquaroll spread about. We empty the water tank on the pitch, it is only 8 litres and given we normally stop a week the ground is fairly dry underneath anyway. Normally we opt for hardstanding but if on grass there is no damage, as the hot has previously been run off.

Waste water down disposal point

Fresh water around pitch

Hot water tank on pitch if hardstanding or nip in van and open valve on dep road if on grass

Clean water under a hedge, round a flower bed or at the base of a tree, but not on the pitch. I don't want to arrive and find my grass pitch is boggy.

Let us hope it never rains then. Give me strength!

Of course you can it's just clean water. I always just empty my aquaroll where it stands when packing up.

If I was staying just one night and followed that advice I could be dumping about 140ltrs of water.  Would that be okay?

That's a big aquaroll. I'd like to see you pulling that.

Na! that's a MH draining off the waste tank.  Last time I moved away from a pitch I had about 140 ltrs of fresh remaining and about 90ltrs of grey.  Could have left a streak for many miles :D:D:D::bigsmile:.
