Mount pump on a solid surface within 6 feet of tank in an accessible location for optimal performance.
Minimize flow restrictions using flexible hose and few elbows/valves on inlet and outlet.
Ensure proper wire sizing, electrical protection, and a minimum 10 Amp circuit for safe operation.
Use minimum 1/2" ID plumbing and avoid rigid connections to prevent cavitation and noise.
Pump is designed for intermittent duty; avoid continuous use like RO systems to prevent damage.
If using an Intellitec controller, ensure it's rated at 10 or 15 amps.
Mount within 6 feet of tank in a 1 cubic foot space for adequate ventilation and pump life.
Mount pump in any position for easy access to strainer, maintenance, and service.
Use a filtered circuit, 15-amp switch, and proper wire sizing to ensure safe operation.
Always shut off power to the pump when leaving the RV unattended.
Install a 50-mesh strainer and use flexible hose on inlet/outlet to prevent noise and debris.
Sanitize the potable water system with bleach, following specific dosage and contact time guidelines.
Drain the system and use anti-freeze to protect plumbing and pump from freezing damage.
Check electrical connections, fuse, breaker, switch, ground, motor, and voltage for starting issues.
Investigate clogged strainers, air leaks, restricted plumbing, or low voltage if pump won't prime.
Address rapid cycling or failure to shut off by checking plumbing restrictions and pressure settings.
Identify causes of noise like loose plumbing, restrictions, rigid pipe, or mounting issues.
Perform routine maintenance including strainer cleaning, sanitizing, and checking fittings.
Lack of sanitization leads to scale buildup, reducing pump performance and lifespan.
