- Page 33 WATER PUMP OPERATION: The water pump is operated by an isolation switch located inside the van (as seen below) IMPORTANT. When connected to mains water pressure, ensure that this isolation switch is turned off – OTHERWISE you will continue to pump water from your water tanks and NOT mains water.
- Page 34 The water tanks are controlled by two separate isolation valves. It is ideal to close off one of these valves to ensure that water is only pumped from one tank at a time. This will prevent the pump drawing air from an empty tank if both valves are open. Then once this tank has emptied shut off and open the other valve to the water tank with water.
- Page 35 to fill the tanks. Once completed, you will notice two clear pipes also underneath the caravan. These clear pipes are your overflow indicators. You can now switch the valves off and continue to use main pressure once the tanks are full. Ensure that these valves are switched off when operating the water pump otherwise the pump may draw air into the system.
