PLUMBING SYSTEMS

connect in-line between the supply hose

and the city water input on the coach.

We recommend a regulator that controls

water pressure to 40 psi maximum.

NOTE: Always keep the tank fill valve closed

unless you are filling the tank. If this

valve is open while using the city water,

the water will keep flowing into the tank

and out the gravity fill tube.

WATER PUMP

When your coach is not connected to a city

water supply, water is supplied from the fresh

water tank by a water system demand pump. A

demand pump is designed to run only when a

faucet is turned on and shut off soon after the

faucet is turned off. When you turn a faucet on,

the pump will begin to run, and it will continue to

run as long as the faucet is open.

The pump is self-priming and will run briefly

to build up line pressure when the Water Pump

Switch is first turned on. See “Initial Water Line

Priming” for instructions on using the water sys-

tem for the first time after a storage period or if

the tank and water lines have been drained.

Pump Strainer Filter

The pump is equipped with a cleanable strain-

er filter to capture any possible tank borne parti-

cles that could damage pump components.

NOTE: We recommend that you check and clean

this filter after each tankful of water dur-

ing the first frew uses of the water pump

system. Thereafter, remember to check it

at least yearly, such as during winteriza-

tion procedures.

To Clean Pump Strainer

• Push the flat inlet cover in towards the

rounded bowl section and twist counter-

clockwise about 1/4 turn to disengage from

locking tabs.

• Remove the cap, then pull the strainer out of

the bowl. Tap out any particles and rinse

clean.

• Insert the strainer back into the bowl, then

twist the cap back into the bowl assembly to

close.

Water Pump Switch

Your coach is equipped with water pump

switches in three convenient locations:

• on the monitor panel (see section 8)

• in the utility service compartment on the out-

side of the coach
