Water Pump - Fleetwood 1999 Discovery Parts And Service Manual

Turn the water pump OFF before draining the water tank.
Whenever possible, drain the fresh water tank before travel-
ing. Water in the tank will reduce the carrying capacity of the
motor home. See Motor Home Loading section of the On
The Road chapter.
The on-board fresh water system is pressurized by a self-
priming, 12-volt DC pump. The pump operates automatically
when the pump power switch is ON and a faucet is opened.
When the faucets are closed, the pump shuts off. At free
flow, the pump draws approximately 7 to 7-1/2 amps. It can
run dry for extended periods without damage. See Electrical
Systems chapter.
Turn the pump master switch ON to pressurize the system.
When a faucet is opened after the initial filling of the tank,
the water may sputter for a few seconds. This is normal and
is not cause for concern. The water flow will become steady
when all air is bled from the water lines.
