Water Pump Switch
Most water pump switches illuminate when the water pump is
activated. Typical switch locations are in the back of the unit, on the
monitor panel, or the switch may be part of a touchscreen system (if
equipped). When the water pump switch is ON the pump runs until 45
lbs. of pressure has been achieved. The red light will stay on.
The water pump switches should be in the OFF position when the RV
is left unattended for any amount of time.
FRESH WATER CONNECTIONS
Your RV may be equipped with one or both of the following fresh
water connections: city water and gravity fill. These connections will
include a threaded adapter under a cap and may be found
somewhere along the side of the RV on their own or within a Utility
Center. For Utility Center configurations see "UTILITY CENTERS" on
page 66.
Avoid traveling with your fresh water tanks full. Instead fill your fresh
water tanks, if needed, at or near your camping destination. If your
campsite has a pressurized water source, there is no need to fill your
fresh water tank.
Using the City Water Connection
Remove the connection cap and
attach a non-toxic drinking water
hose to the threaded inlet.
1.
The other end of this hose
should be connected to a
pressurized fresh water source
(such as a faucet or spigot). You
should use a non-toxic drinking
water hose dedicated only to
supplying fresh water to the RV.
To prevent strain on the threaded connector
and crimping of the water hose, for external
ports it is recommended to us a 90 degree
elbow connector before attaching the fresh
water hose to the City Water Connection.
2.
Turn ON the water at the water source. Open the cold water
supply faucets to bleed air from the water lines. When the water
lines are nearly full, you may experience some "air pockets."
Allow these to escape before closing the cold water supply
faucets.
The City Water Connection inlet, when connected to a pressurized
fresh water source, sends water through the water lines and fixtures
without the use of the pump. For this reason the water pump should
be turned off. The fresh water tank cannot be filled using the city
water connection unless it is part of a utility center that has a valve
configuration that allows it. For utility center valve configurations see
"UTILITY CENTERS" on page 66.

3.
The water heater will fill first, followed by the
supply lines and faucets. Water heater bypass
valves must be open to allow water into the water
heater, Refer to "Tank Versus On Demand Water
Heaters" on page 75 for an explanation on
configuring the bypass valves.
In order to prevent RV plumbing from being damaged
by high water pressure from your water source, it
is recommended to install an in-line water pressure
regulator between the source and the City Water
Connection on the RV.
Additionally to help avoid contaminants in the water, an inline water
filter is also recommended when a water filtration option is not already
installed.
To disconnect the City Water Connection:
1.
Shut OFF the water at the pressurized water source.
2.
Disconnect the non-toxic drinking water hose and reinstall the
connection cap. The connection cap should always be installed if
the city water connection is not in use.
Using the Gravity Fill
You can fill the fresh water tank from a container of
fresh water and the gravity water fill inlet if you do not
have access to city water.
Low point and fresh water tank drains should be closed.
1.
Remove the connection cap and insert a non-toxic drinking
water hose (or a funnel) into the gravity fill inlet. The other end of
the hose goes into a container of fresh
potable water.
2.
Pour the fresh water into the gravity fill
until the tank is full.
3.
When the fresh water tank on the RV is
full, remove the non-toxic drinking hose
and container from the gravity water fill.
Replace the connection cap. This cap
should always be installed if the water fill
is not in use.
Fresh Water Connection Fill
Used only to fill the fresh water tank. Check your dial settings in the
section covering "UTILITY CENTERS" on page 66. Depending on
the utility center being used this will either require a pressurized water
source, or have the ability to siphon fill using the on board pump.
If no matching utility center is listed, this will use a pressurized source
only.
When tank is full, turn off the water source, disconnect the hose.
Fresh water tank level can be checked at the monitor panel. Do not
overfill the water tank.
