User's Manual and Installation Guide
Please read the following instructions before attempting an installation. When properly installed,
both the Aquajet RV and ES Series can be used in virtually any existing RV.
If you prefer to have the pump professionally installed, contact Aquatec (949-225-2200) to locate
your nearest authorized service center.
The 5-chamber Aquajet RV and ES Series 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/circuitbreakers, 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 either an Aquajet RV or ES Series pump, positive voltage (+12VDC) must be con-
nected to the Aquajet's red fused leadwire. Reversing polarity will instantly blow the fuse and
may permanently damage the controller.
If you are uncertain with respect to any of this information, Aquatec highly recommends that a quali-
fied technician perform your installation and determine the existing polarity of your current wiring.
Safety Tips:
1. Never operate the pump in an atmosphere where flammable gases may be present, since arcing
at the motor brushes or switch contacts may cause an explosion.
2. After extended operation, or if malfunctioning, metal surfaces of the pump may become hot and
cause burns if touched. If this occurs, disconnect electrical power and wait 30 minutes before
touching pump.
3. Never mount the pump where the surface temperature of the motor or the controller (200 F maxi-
mum) may cause ignition of the surrounding materials.

- Page 2 10. Both the Aquajet RV and ES Series include a fuse-holder. It is important to use only a 15 amp AGC automotive type fuse for the Aquajet RV Series and a 10 amp AGC fuse for the Aquajet ES Series. Once again, use only these types of fuses with these specific pumps.
- Page 3 A screen-filter should always be used between the RV water tank and the pump. Planning the installation ("AQUAJET RV SERIES" ONLY): 1. Determine whether or not your RV is currently using an 'Intellitec' pump controller (i.e. three or more "momentary"...
- Page 4 Typically, if your RV uses one (1) switch to control the pump, the wiring is short and should prove sufficient. If your RV has two (2) rocker-style switches you will see significant voltage drops and thus both the relay and the new heavier "hot wire" will be required. Locate the battery and the fusebox for the pump.
- Page 5 RVs. Because the Aquajet ES Series uses a lower amperage motor than the Aquajet RV Series, installation is generally simplified. Oftentimes, installation is as simple as removing the wirenuts connecting the existing water pump and then reconnecting the existing wiring (keeping careful track of polarity) to the Aquajet ES.
- Page 6 3. Survey the existing plumbing and identify the suction line (i.e. the line going from the water hold- ing tank to the pump). If there is not a screen-filter currently on this line, then one should be pro- cured for the Aquajet installation (several brands are available at any local RV dealer). For the quietest possible operation of the Aquajet ES, you should try to isolate the pump mechanically from your RV's typically hard Polybutylene or PEX tubing.
- Page 7 Installation: 1. Using Voltmeter, determine polarity of the wiring to the existing pump(s). Unfortunately, there is no standardized color scheme for RV wiring (most RVs , however, seem to use red for the positive lead and black for the negative lead). Regardless of your specific config- uration, positive voltage (12VDC) must be connected to the RED (fused) leadwire of the Aquajet RV.
- Page 8 12. If an Accuflex hose adapter is used on the outlet side (see Figures 6 and 7), place the other end of the hose adapter up high. This should stop water from being siphoned out. 13. Place a towel under the outlet port (pressure side) of the existing pump(s) and remove the con- necting fitting.
