12-Volt Water Pump & Switch - Highland Ridge RV 2015 Owner's Manual

SECTION 8 - PLUMBING SYSTEMS
Occasionally, you may see water coming from the overflow tubes (located
underneath the RV) when the fresh water holding tank is filled. This is normal, and
is caused by external circumstances, including the RV being parked on an incline,
or the motion caused by starting or stopping the RV during travel
Be careful not to overfill the fresh water holding tank. It can pressurize the
tank, causing leakage and water damage and void the warranty. DO NOT
leave the tank unattended while filling.
Do not cap, block or modify the fresh water tank overflow tubes in any way.
Enough water pressure can build up during the filling process to damage the
plumbing system if the overflow tubes are obstructed.

ATER RESSURE
Excessive pressure from water supply systems may be encountered in some
parks, especially in mountain regions. Water pressure regulators are available to
protect your system against such high pressure. Water pressure regulators
(customer supplied) are available from your RV dealer to protect the plumbing
system against such high pressure.
Not using a water pressure regulator when using city water may cause the o-
rings to fail. To prevent damage to the plumbing system or components when
using the city water connection, a water pressure regulator rated for 40 lbs. is
recommended

OLT ATER
Once activated, the water pump (also known as the on-demand pump) will self-
prime, and provide water. The water pump continues to run until approximately 45
lbs. of pressure is achieved and then shuts off.
The water pump will automatically re-start when pressure drops. Some cycling
may occur, depending on the volume of water being released. The water pump
has a built-in check valve to prevent water from back flowing.
Water pump switch (if so equipped)
When the water pump switch is ON the water pump runs until 45 pounds of
pressure has been achieved. The red light will stay ON. Turn the water pump
switch OFF when it is not in use.
The water pump switch should be in the OFF position when the RV is left
unattended for any amount of time. If something would happen to the water
system, this may help limit water damage to a smaller area.
NOTE: When you want to use water in your RV and the RV is not hooked up to
city water, you will need sufficient 12-volt DC power to run the water pump.
