The switch for the water pump is located on the monitor panel.
Before
turning it on make sure your fresh water tank is full.
To operate, turn the pump s\vitch on and open the hot side of a faucet.
It
is normal for the faucet to spit and sputter prior to getting a full stream
of water.
If the system has been drained, this may take a few minutes
since the pump is forcing water into the water heater and a solid stream of
water won't be obtained until the water heater is completely filled.
Once you have a full stream of water on the hot side, turn it off and open
the cold side.
You will get the same spit and sputter, but only for a few
moments as air is being purged.
Repeat with the other faucets and the
toilet so the air is all purged.
Now when the faucets
are
all turned off the pump will quit running
automatically.
Whenever a faucet is opened the pump will run until the
faucet is closed.
If a faucet is only open a small amount the pump will
cycle rapidly on and off.
This is not harmful to the pump.
The pump switch should be turned off when the motorhome is unattended.
