Your motor home is equipped with water pump switches located on the Vegatouch screen
and the exterior monitor panel. Either switch will control the water pump.
Once activated, the water pump will self-prime, and provide water. The water pump contin-
ues to run until maximum pressure is achieved and shut o. The water pump will automati-
cally re-start when it senses a drop in the water pressure.
Some cycling may occur, depending on the volume of water being released. The water
pump is engineered with a check valve to prevent water from back owing into the fresh
water supply tank.
When you want to use water in your motor home and it is not hooked up to city water, you
will need sucient 12-volt DC power to run the water pump.
Normal pump maintenance consists of checking and cleaning of the strainer, normal sani-
tizing and winterizing and occasionally checking all plumbing hardware and ttings for
tightness.
Lack of sanitizing can lead to premature pump failure and poor performance over time.
Scale build-up on the diaphragm and valves, can cause low ow and leak back (occasional
pump cycling with no faucets open or tank lling up when hooked up to city water).
The canister lter is the primary lter used for the complete water
system. It is located at the docking (utility) center of the motor home. If the water supply
has not been used for some time, allow the water to ow for several minutes to ush the
system.
The water pump switches should be in the OFF position when
the motor home is left unattended for any amount of time.
This method of lling the water tank is NOT recommended if
ltered water is required. However, if you ll the tank with unltered water,
all water from the fresh water tank goes through the whole house canister
lter. So as long as you have a water lter in the canister you will end up
with ltered water. The only method to ll the fresh water tank with ltered
water is by using the fresh water connection inlet and the city water / tank
ll valve on the docking (utility) center panel.
When not in use, the water lter cartridge should be stored out of
freezing temperatures. RV antifreeze will damage the water lter cartridge.
