Section 8: Plumbing System
™ NOTE: The City Water Connection should be unplugged (i.e., the non-toxic
drinking water hose disconnected) when the motor home is unattended for
any amount of time. If something would happen to the water system, this
may help limit water damage to a smaller area.
Water Control Valve Operation
City Fixtures: Use this setting if the motor home can be hooked up
to an external pressurized water source (referred to as "city water"). If
needed, sanitize the water system prior to travel.
1.
Move the water heater bypass valves (if equipped) to the NORMAL
position (supply line valves ON).
2.
Remove the city water connection inlet cap and attach a non-toxic
drinking water hose to the city water connection inlet and the other
end to a pressurized water source (such as a faucet or spigot).
3.
Place the utility center valves in the "CITY FIXTURES" position.
4.
Turn ON the water at the external water source.
5.
Enter the motor home and 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.
6.
Turn the water heater power switch ON .The water will be heated on demand.
7.
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.
™ NOTE: The fresh water connection should be disconnected (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.
To disconnect
8.
Shut OFF the water at the external water source and disconnect the hose.
9.
Disconnect the non-toxic drinking water hose from the city water connection inlet and
reinstall the city water connection inlet cap.
City Fill Tank: Use this setting to fill the water tank from a pressurized water source. If
needed, sanitize the water system prior to travel.
10. Set the bypass valves to the NORMAL position (supply line valves ON
11. Remove the city water connection inlet cap. Attach a non-toxic water hose to the city
water connection and the other end to a pressurized water source.
12. Place the utility center valves in the "CITY FILL TANK" position.
13. Turn ON the water at the external source. Water will flow into the fresh water tank.
During the filling process, periodically check the fresh water tank level using the monitor
panel located in the command center. DO NOT OVERFILL THE WATER TANK. When
the fresh water tank is full, it is normal to see water running from the fresh water overflow
tubes onto the ground.
To disconnect
Shut OFF the water at the external water source.
Disconnect the non-toxic drinking water hose and reinstall the city water inlet cap.
Country Fill: This setting is used to siphon fill the water tank from a water container when
dry camping and a pressurized water source is unavailable. If needed, sanitize the water
system prior to travel.
