Fresh Water System
All water contains contaminant and mineral particles that can cause fresh water system
odors. Untreated well water is a major source of water system odors. The fresh water (po-
table water) system needs periodic sanitization to take care of all the components in the
plumbing system to discourage the growth of bacteria and other organisms that can con-
taminate the water supply.

Excessive pressure from the water supply source may be encountered in some parks, espe-
cially in mountain regions when using the fresh water inlet or black tank ush. Water pres-
sure regulators are available to protect your recreational vehicles plumbing system against
such high pressure.

There may be several ways to ll the fresh water tank depending on the model. For details
of each method, refer to the Fresh Water Connections or the Utility Center sections. There
are plastic overow tubes in the fresh water holding tank which allow water to ow out of
the water tank. Occasionally, you may see water coming from the overow tubes when the
fresh water holding tank is lled. This is normal and can be a result of the recreation vehicle
being parked on an incline, or the motion caused by starting or stopping during travel.

A water pressure regulator is recommended to prevent damage to the plumb-
ing system or components. To prevent damage when using the city water con-
nection, a 45 lb. (315 KPa) rated water pressure regulator is recommended.

 Do not cap, block or modify the fresh water tank overow tubes in any
way. Enough water pressure can build up during the lling process to
damage the plumbing system if the overow tubes are obstructed.
 Be careful not to overll the fresh water holding tank. It can pressurize
the tank, causing leakage and water damage and void the warranty. DO
NOT leave the tank unattended while lling.
