Water Pump - Fleetwood 1997 Discovery Owner's Manual

Turn the water pump OFF before draining the water tank.
Whenever possible, drain the fresh water tank before traveling,
Water in the tank will reduce the carrying capacity of the motor
home, See Motor Home Loadillg section of the 011 The Road
chapter.
The on-board fresh water system is pressurized by a self-prim-
ing, 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-'12 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 filliug 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.
