Water Pump - Airstream 2012 INTERSTATE Owner's Manual

carry in the fresh water tank, the less cargo carrying capacity you have for
other items.
The amount of water in the tank may be checked on the Monitor Panel, or you
may fill the tank until water overflows out of the fill.
Fill the water heater by opening the hot side of either the galley, wet-bath, or
exterior shower faucet and turning on the water pump switch located under the
galley roof locker or by connecting to an exterior city water source. Close the
cold side of all faucets. For some time the open faucet will only sputter. This
is because the water heater is being filled and air is being pushed out through
the lines. Once the water heater is full, a steady stream of water will come from
the faucet.
Now open a cold faucet. It will sputter for a short time, but will soon expel a
steady stream. All other faucets can now be opened until all air is expelled.
Once the system is filled with water and the faucets are closed, the water pump
will shut off. When a faucet is opened the pump will come back on automati-
cally. If the faucet is just barely open it is normal for the pump to cycle on and
off rapidly.
It is normal for a pump to occasionally cycle when all faucets are off to keep
the water pressure at the set point. However, if it cycles frequently (more than
a few times an hour) the plumbing system, pump, and pump strainer should be
checked to be sure it is not loosing pressure through a slow water leak or back
through the pump.
nOTiCE
: To prevent equipment damage the water heater should only be
started after the water system is primed and ready for use.
nOTiCE
: Turn the water pump off when the motorhome is left unat-
tended.

cumulation of sand or debris that could affect water flow.
