2. Turn ON the water at the water source. Open the cold water supply faucets to bleed air
from the water lines. When the water lines are nearly full, you may experience some
“air pockets.” Allow these to escape before closing the cold water supply faucets.
3. The water heater (if so equipped) will ll rst, followed by the supply lines and faucets.
Water heater bypass valves (if so equipped) A and B must be open to allow water into
the water heater, valve C should be closed. Refer to the Water Heater Bypass section
for an explanation on conguring the bypass valves. Bypass valves are normally lo-
cated near the water heater.
The fresh water connection should be unscrewed (i.e., the non-toxic drinking water hose dis-
connected) when the recreation vehicle is left unattended for any amount of time. If some-
thing would happen to the water system, this may help limit water damage to a smaller area.
1. Shut OFF the water at the pressurized water source.
2. Disconnect the non-toxic drinking water hose and reinstall the connection cap.
The connection cap should always be installed if the water ll is not in use.
You can ll the fresh water tank from a container of fresh water and the gravity water ll
inlet if you do not have access to City Water.
The gravity ll will have a potable water label next to it. Do not remove this label.
Low point and fresh water tank drains should be closed.
1. Remove the connection cap and insert a non-toxic drinking water hose (or a funnel)
into the gravity ll inlet. The other end of the hose goes into a container of fresh potable
water.
2. Pour the fresh water into the gravity ll until the tank is full.
3. Open both the hot and cold water faucets, along with outside shower faucets (if so
equipped) when lling the fresh water tank to allow air pockets to be forced out of the
system.
4. When the fresh water tank on the RV is full, remove the non-toxic drinking hose and
container from the gravity water ll. Replace the connection cap. This cap should al-
ways be installed if the water ll is not in use.
The City Water Fill inlet when connected to a pressurized fresh
water source sends water through the water lines and xtures without the
use of the pump. The fresh water tank cannot be lled using the city water
ll (the gravity ll is used to ll the fresh water tank).
