TROUBLESHOOTIIVG THE FRESH WATER SYSTEM
/
Water system problems usually fall into two categories: system problems,
and
proQlems caused by neglect.
Systfmproblems
are usually the result
of
road vibration and-campsite water pressure variations. Problems
of
neglect
usually
stem
from failure to clean filters, improper' winterization, and poor
battery maintenance. Most water system
problell1:s
can be avoided
by
consci-
"entiousmaintenance.
LEAKS
Vibration, flexing and twisting while traveling can work pipe fittings loose.
Check all plumbing for leaks at least once a year.
If
the water pump runs when
a faucet is not open,
check for a
leak:.
Be sure the tank drain valves are tightly
closed. Leaks occur
m<;>st
often around threaded fittings.
If
necessary, tighten
or
clean and-tighten the fittings. Do not overtighten fittings. Connections at
galley and lavy
fixtures'should not be tightened with a
wreI1ch.
They
will
normally
seal
with hand-tightening.
If
a leak persists at one
of
the fittings,
disconnect it completely and check for mineral deposits or other foreign
. "
matter at the seating surfaces. Clean the surfaces thoroughly and reinstall the
fitting.
