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 Utility Center or Water Connection section. There are plastic
overow 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 overow tubes when the fresh wa-
ter 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.
There must be sucient 12-volt DC power to run the water pump when your recreation
vehicle is not hooked up to city water. Once activated, the water pump (also known as the
demand pump) will self-prime, and provide water. The water pump continues to run until
maximum pressure is achieved and shut o. The water pump will automatically re-start
when it senses a drop in the water pressure. The pump is designed for . Using the pump
continuously or with high pressure will shorten the life of the pump and is not covered in
your warranty.
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.
Periodically check the in-line water pump strainer for
accumulated debris. To clean, shut o the water pump,
unscrew the clear cap, remove the re-useable metal
strainer, clear any debris, then reinstall.
A water pressure regulator is recommended to prevent damage to the plumb-
ing system or components. To prevent damage when using the city water
connection, a 45 lb. (315 KPa) rated water pressure regulator is recommended.
Do not cap, block or modify the fresh water tank overow tubes in any
way. Enough water pressure can build up during the lling process to
damage the plumbing system if the overow tubes are obstructed.
Be careful not to overll 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.
