Aquajet
User's Manual and Installation Guide
Please read the following instructions before attempting an installation.
When properly installed, Aquajet series pumps can be used in virtually
any existing RV.
If you prefer to have the pump professionally installed, contact Remco
(763-253-4743) to locate your nearest authorized service center.
WARNING
the 5-chamber Aquajet series pumps are more powerful than most
existing RV water pumps and, as a result, may draw more current
(Amps) than the pump(s) they replace. It is imperative that any power
supply, fuses/circuit breakers, wiring, switches, connectors, or
controllers that are used to supply 12 Vdc to the pump are adequately
sized. Inadequately sized components may overheat, causing an
electrical fire.
When installing an Aquajet series pump, positive voltage (+12VDC)
must be connected to the Aquajet's red fused leadwire. Reversing
polarity will instantly blow the fuse and may permanently damage
the controller.
