TROUBLESHOOTING THE FRESH WATER SYSTEM
Water system problems usually fall into two categories: system problems,
and problems caused by neglect. System problems are usually the result of
road vibration and campsite water pressure variations. Problems of neglect
usually stem from failure to clean filters, improper winterization, and poor
battery maintenance. Most water system problems cart be avoided by consci-
entious maintenance.
LEAKS
Vibration, flexing and twisting while traveling can work pipe fittings loose.
Check all plumbing for leaks at least once a year.If the water pump runs when
a faucet is not open, check for a leak. Be sure the tank drain valves are tightly
closed. Leaks occur most often around threaded fittings.
If
necessary, tighten
or clean and tighten the fittings. Do not overtighten fittings. Connections at
galley and lavy fixtures should not be tightened with a wrench. They will
normally seal with hand-tightening.
If
a leak persists at one of the fittings,
disconnect it completely and check for mineral deposits or other foreign
matter at the seating surfaces. Clean the surfaces thoroughly andreinstall the
fitting.
