Water Pump - Winnebago Journey Owner's Manual

SECTION 7
PLUMBING SYSTEMS
connect in-line between the supply hose
and the city water input on the coach.
We recommend a regulator that controls
water pressure to 40 psi maximum.
NOTE: Always keep the tank fill valve closed
unless you are filling the tank. If this
valve is open while using the city water,
the water will keep flowing into the tank
and out the gravity fill tube.

WATER PUMP

When your coach is not connected to a city
water supply, water is supplied from the fresh
water tank by a water system demand pump. A
demand pump is designed to run only when a
faucet is turned on and shut off soon after the
faucet is turned off. When you turn a faucet on,
the pump will begin to run, and it will continue to
run as long as the faucet is open.
The pump is self-priming and will run briefly
to build up line pressure when the Water Pump
Switch is first turned on. See "Initial Water Line
Priming" for instructions on using the water sys-
tem for the first time after a storage period or if
the tank and water lines have been drained.

Pump Strainer Filter
The pump is equipped with a cleanable strain-
er filter to capture any possible tank borne parti-
cles that could damage pump components.
NOTE: We recommend that you check and clean
this filter after each tankful of water dur-
ing the first frew uses of the water pump
system. Thereafter, remember to check it
at least yearly, such as during winteriza-
tion procedures.
