Fresh Water Connections - Jayco JAY SPORT 2018 Owner's Manual

The water pump switch should be in the OFF position when the RV is left unattended
for any amount of time. If something would happen to the water system, this may
help limit water damage to a smaller area.

Fresh Water Connections

Your recreation vehicle may be equipped with one or both of the following fresh water
connections: city water and gravity fill. The city water fill has a threaded connector with a
city water connection label next to it. Do not remove this label.
NOTE: If needed, sanitize the water system prior to travel.
Using City Water Fill (If So Equipped)
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 vehicle.
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.
NOTE: The City Water Fill inlet when connected to a pressurized
fresh water source sends water through the water lines and fixtures
without the use of the pump. The fresh water tank cannot be filled
using the city water fill (the gravity fill is used to fill the fresh water
tank).
The water heater (if so equipped) will fill first, followed by the supply lines and faucets.
3.
Water heater bypass valves (if so equipped) A and B must be open to allow water into
the water heater, valve C should be closed. Refer to the Water Heater Bypass section
for an explanation on configuring the bypass valves. Bypass valves are normally
located near the water heater.
The fresh water connection should be unscrewed (i.e., the non-toxic drinking water hose
disconnected) when the recreation vehicle is left unattended for any amount of time. If
something would happen to the water system, this may help limit water damage to a smaller
area.
