Faucets - Jayco Hummingbird 2018 Owner's Manual

To turn off the water, always close the hot/cold control (faucet) knobs. The lever on the
shower head will not completely stop the flow of water; this is intentional to allow for
draining. After the water has been allowed to drain from the shower head, return it to the
outside shower compartment. Any remaining water in the shower hose will drip or run out;
this is not a leak but performs as intended. If you are dry camping, turn the water pump
OFF.
Turning off the water with the shower head lever can also create a condition where the hot
and cold water will mix through the outside shower faucet, thereby reducing the temperature
of the hot water. It can appear as though the hot water heater is not working properly.

Faucets

The bathroom, kitchen and outside shower faucets operate much the same way as the faucets
in your home. Make sure there is sufficient water available and the 12-volt water pump is
turned ON before operating.
NOTE: There may be air in the water plumbing lines which needs to
be bled out before a steady stream of water comes from the faucet.

USED until they are finished.
The shower faucet includes a vacuum breaker for the shower. There are two purposes for
this breaker:
To prevent siphoning water through the hose from another fixture.
To prevent water from being retained in the hose.
The showerhead DOES NOT have a complete shut-off valve (the complete shut-off is at the
faucet). The showerhead may drip slightly in the OFF position after use; this is normal and
does not indicate a leak or defect.
