11.1.9 EXTERNAL WATER SUPPLY
TOPAZ
The external water source will supply your
trailer water system with water at city pressure
when the water pump is switched off.
1. Connecting:
a. Turn water pump switch to off.
b. Attach garden hose to city water
connection at water fill valve.
c. Turn on external water supply.
2. Turn the water heater by-pass valves
to the normal flow position to ensure
that water enters the heater and hot
water is available for use.
Water from the external supply is
prevented from entering the water tank
and the water pump by means of a
check-valve.
IMPORTANT
After connecting to the exter-
nal water supply, open the
faucets in your trailer slowly
and cautiously. Air trapped in
the line can cause the water
to splash into the sink. You
may want to drape a wash
cloth over the faucet to
prevent excessive splashing.
IMPORTANT
Some campgrounds have an exces-
sively high water pressure which can
cause problems. It is a good idea to
get a pressure reducer from your RV
centre and attach it to your incoming
external water supply hose to ensure
safe pressure for your unit.
3. Disconnecting:
a. Turn off the external water tap.
b. Relieve water pressure on the line
by opening a faucet in the trailer.
c. Disconnect hose from the trailer.
d. Replace the protective plug back
over the water connection.
