Section 8: Plumbing System; Fresh Water System - Jayco 2015 MELBOURNE User Manual

CLASS C MOTORHOME
There are two different water systems in your motor home:
system and the waste water system. The fresh water system consists of the fresh
water holding tank, fresh water connections, water pump, outside shower
assembly (if so equipped), water heater, faucets, tub/shower, and water
purification system (if so equipped). The waste water system consists of the waste
water holding tank, sewage holding tank, drains and toilet.

□
Check all fittings, pressure and waste, for leaks before each trip or before
vehicle storage as part of your normal maintenance:
□
Inspect all faucets, the water purification system (optional) and sink
connections (including drain baskets or filters).
□
Inspect connections at the water pump and water heater.
□
At the end of every trip, you should drain any unused water from the fresh
water system.
□
The fresh water (or potable water) system needs periodic sanitization and
winterization to take care of all the components within the plumbing system
and help discourage the growth of bacteria and other organisms that can
contaminate the water supply.
There are labels affixed to the exterior of the motor home sidewall that indicate the
locations of the water system drains and fills. Be aware some drain valves may be
located inside the motor home (once the exterior label is found, go inside to find
the drain corresponding location).

RESH ATER
DO NOT drink water deemed microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality.
All water contains contaminant and mineral particles that can cause fresh water
system odors. Untreated well water is a major source of water system odors. The
fresh water (or potable water) system needs periodic sanitization and winterization
to take care of all the components within the plumbing system and help
discourage the growth of bacteria and other organisms that can contaminate the
water supply.
Never travel with full fresh, black or grey water holding tanks.
