Operation
Press only one switch at a time. As you push either the FRESH, BLK
GREY1 or GREY2 switch, one or more LED lights will illuminate
indicating the content level for that tank.
Tank monitors on the touch screen have a constant readout. There
are no buttons to push. Tank levels are displayed by percentage from
0% to FULL.
Water pump switch (if equipped)
The water pump switch may be located on the monitor panel, the
utility center, or both. On some models, the water pump control may
be on one of the selectable screens for the touch screen. When the
water pump switch is ON (lit), the water pump will run until it reaches
45 lbs. of pressure. It will recycle when pressure drops. Turn the
switch OFF when the water pump is not being used.
Water heater switch(s) (if equipped)
Water heater switches will be located on the monitor panel, the
command center, or in the case of a touch screen system, on one of
the selectable screens of the touch screen. Switches will light up
when turned on. The "LP GAS" water heater switch (12V) enables
propane operation of the water heater, and the "ELECTRIC switch
(120V) enables electric operation of the water heater. Normally both
switches should be turned on to provide the fastest hot water recovery
time. The water heater can be operated in electric only or gas only
modes by pressing each switch independently.
If the RV is equipped with an on demand water heater, there will only
be an LP Gas switch on the command center panel.
DSI FLT - Direct Spark Ignition Fault (if equipped)
This light will indicate a problem with the LP portion of the water
heater. When the LP GAS switch is turned on, the light will blink
quickly 3 times and the water heater will ignite. The light will then
remain off. If the light comes on and stays on, it indicates the gas
side of the water heater has not fired and there is a problem with the
igniter.
This light will not appear on touchscreens, RV remote controls, or on
a Wi-Fi app. It only appears on the Command Center switch panel.
FRESH WATER SYSTEM
(See page 78)
All water contains contaminant and mineral particles that can cause
fresh water system odors. Untreated well water is a major source of
water system odors. The fresh water (potable water) system needs
periodic sanitization to take care of all the components in the plumbing
system to discourage the growth of bacteria and other organisms that
can contaminate the water supply. See "SANITIZING/WINTERIZING
THE PLUMBING SYSTEM" on page 75 for more information.
You should use a non-toxic drinking water hose dedicated only to
supplying the recreation vehicle with fresh water. To reduce the
chance of contamination, prevent the openings of the non-toxic
drinking water hose from coming into contact with the ground.

PLUMBING SYSTEM
Water Pressure Regulator (customer supplied)
Excessive pressure from the water supply source may
be encountered in some parks, especially in mountain
regions when using the fresh water inlet or black
tank flush. Water pressure regulators are available to
protect your recreational vehicles plumbing system
against such high pressure.
Fresh Water Holding Tank
The Fresh Water Holding Tank allows you to have water for camping
when you are not going to be attached to a pressurized water
connection at the camp site. There may be several ways to fill the
fresh water tank depending on the model. For details of each method,
refer to "FRESH WATER CONNECTIONS" on page 63 or "UTILITY
CENTERS" on page 66. There are plastic overflow tubes in the
fresh water holding tank which allow water to flow out of the water
tank. Occasionally, you may see water coming from the overflow
tubes when the fresh water holding tank is filled. This is normal and
can be a result of the recreation vehicle being parked on an incline, or
the motion caused by starting or stopping during travel.
12-volt Water Pump
There must be sufficient 12-volt DC power to run the water pump
when your recreation vehicle is not hooked up to city water. Once
activated, the water pump (also known as the demand pump) will
self-prime, and provide water. The water pump continues to run until
maximum pressure is achieved. The water pump will automatically
re-start when it senses a drop in the water pressure. Some cycling
may occur depending on the volume of water being released.
The pump is designed for intermittent use only. Using the pump
continuously or with high pressure will shorten the life of the pump
and is not covered in your warranty.
The water pump is engineered with a check valve to prevent water
from backflowing into the fresh water supply tank.
Maintenance
Periodically check the
in-line water pump strainer
for accumulated debris. To
clean, shut off the water
pump, unscrew the clear
cap, remove the re-usable
metal strainer, clear any
debris, then reinstall.
Normal pump maintenance consists of checking and cleaning of the
strainer, normal sanitizing and winterizing, and occasionally checking
all plumbing hardware and fittings for tightness. Lack of sanitizing
can lead to premature pump failure and poor performance over time.
Scale build-up on the diaphragm and valves, can cause low flow and
leak back (occasional pump cycling with no faucets open or tank filling
up when hooked up to city water).
For additional information on the care and operation of the pump,
read the safety and operating information in the pump manufacturer's
owner's manual.
