Water Pressure Regulator (customer supplied)

A water pressure regulator is recommended to prevent damage to the plumb-
ing system or components. To prevent damage when using the city water
connection, a 45 lb. (315 KPa) rated water pressure regulator is recommended.
Excessive pressure from the water supply source may be encountered in some parks, espe-
cially in mountain regions when using the fresh water inlet or black tank flush. Water pres-
sure regulators are available to protect your recreational vehicles plumbing system against
such high pressure.

12-Volt Water Pump and Switch

There must be sufficient 12-volt DC power to run the water pump when your recreation
vehicle is not hooked up to city water. Once activated, the water pump (also known as the
demand pump) will self-prime and provide water. The pump is designed for intermittent
use only. Using the pump continuously or with high pressure will shorten the life of the
pump and is not covered in your warranty.
Periodically check the in-line water pump strainer for ac-
cumulated debris. To clean, shut off the water pump, un-
screw the clear cap, remove the re-useable metal strainer,
clear any debris, then reinstall.
For additional information on the care and operation
of the pump, read the safety and operating information
found in the pump manufacturer's owner's manual.
Water Pump Switch (if so equipped)
Most water pump switches illuminate when the water pump is activated. Typical switch
locations are in the back of the unit or on the monitor panel. When the water pump switch
is ON the pump runs until 45 lbs. of pressure has been achieved. The red light will stay
on. The water pump automatically recycles when pressure drops. Some cycling may occur
depending on the volume of water being released. Turn the water pump switch OFF when
not in use.
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 is equipped with a city water fill threaded connector. There is a city
water connection label next to the connection. Do not remove this label.
NOTE: If needed, sanitize the water system prior to travel.
