SECTION 8-PLUMBING SYSTEMS JAYCO TOWABLE
2. Open the outside shower compartment door.
3. If dry camping, be sure the 12-volt water pump is ON.
4. Remove the handheld shower from its holder.
5. Turn ON the hot and cold faucet knobs, and adjust the water temperature as desired.
6. To activate the handheld shower turn ON the sprayer head attachment (some models).
To turn off the water, always close the faucet knobs. The lever on the shower head will not
completely stop the flow of water; this is intentional to allow for draining. After the water
has been allowed to drain from the shower head, return it to the outside shower
compartment. Any remaining water in the shower hose will drip or run out; this is not a
leak but performs as intended. If you are dry camping, turn the water pump OFF.
Water should always be turned off using the hot / cold control knobs rather than turning off
the water with the lever on the shower head. Turning off the water with the shower head
lever can create a condition where the hot and cold water will mix through the outside
shower faucet, thereby reducing the temperature of the hot water. It can appear as though
the hot water heater is not working properly.
NOTE: The shower head may be removed from the hose so that it will drain faster. If
you remove the shower head, be sure to reassemble it prior to storage.
NOTE: When putting the shower assembly back into the storage compartment, make
sure the hose is not pinched or the shower head is positioned in a way it can be damaged.
FAUCETS
The faucets operate much the same way as the faucets in your home. Make sure there is
sufficient water available and, if dry camping, the 12-volt water pump is turned ON before
operating.
To open the faucets, turn the hot and cold knobs ON and adjust the temperature to your
comfort level. Close the faucets when a sufficient amount of water is released, turn the
water pump OFF if dry camping.
BATHROOM TUB / SHOWER
The shower faucet includes a vacuum breaker for the shower. There are two purposes for
this breaker:
To prevent siphoning water through the hose from another fixture.
To prevent water from being retained in the hose.
The showerhead DOES NOT have a complete shut-off valve (the complete shut-off is at
the faucet). The showerhead may drip slightly in the OFF position after use; this is normal
and does not indicate a leak or defect.
There may be air in the plumbing lines that will need to be bled out before a steady stream
of water comes from the faucet.
The bathing facilities in your recreation vehicle function similar to those in your home.
WARNING
Water temperatures over 125°F (49°C) can cause severe burns instantly or death from
scalds; therefore, be careful when using hot water. Always test the water temperature
before showering or washing.
