Using drinking water by gravity feed
When you are not connected to a municipal water supply, you must activate the water
pump, which operates on 12 volts or 120-volt AC current, when connected. The pump
draws water from your drinking water tank and is usually located near the tank, in a case or
cabinet.
The water pump starts when there is a demand for pressure from the switch located on the
front or side of a cabinet. It is activated by a drop in water pressure detected in the water
pipes, thus when a tap is opened. The pump continues to operate until the tap is turned off
and the pressure is restored. The flow rate is about 2.8 gallons a minute at 40 to 55 lbs. per
square inch (psi).
A manufacturer’s manual is included in your owner’s kit to provide details on the water
pump and useful instructions for the owner. The location and installation may vary
depending on the modeland floor plan.
DRINKING WATER SYSTEM
It is normal to hear and even feel a slight vibration when demand
for water is low.
Drinking water is considered an additional load. Your load capacity
therefore is reduced by the weight of the water you are carrying,
calculated at about 8.3 lbs. per gallon. Fill your drinking water tank
as close as possible to your destination.
WARNING
A water pump switch is installed in
the trailer to stop or start the pump.
