RESH ATER
Your RV may be equipped with one or both of the following fresh water
connections: City Water and Gravity Fill. The City Water Fill has a threaded
connector with a City Water Connection label next to it. Do not remove this label.
Using City Water Fill: (Fig 8.1)
1. If needed sanitize the water system.
(Refer to Sanitizing the Plumbing
System section)
2. Unsnap the connection cap and thread a
non-toxic drinking water hose to the
threaded inlet.
NOTE:
should be connected to a pressurized
fresh water source (e.g. faucet or spigot).
3. Turn ON the water at the water source. Enter the RV and open the cold
water supply faucets to bleed air from the water lines. When the water lines
are nearly full, you may experience some "air pockets."
escape before closing the cold water supply faucets.
NOTE:
water source sends water through the water lines and fixtures without the
use of the pump. The fresh water tank cannot be filled using the City Water
Fill. The Gravity Fill is used to fill the fresh water tank.
4. The water heater (if so equipped) will fill first, followed by the supply lines
and faucets. Water heater valves A&B must be open to allow water into the
water heater, valve C should be closed. Refer to Page 8-5 (Fig 8.5) Water
Heater Bypass section for an explanation on configuring the bypass valves.
Bypass valves are normally located near the water heater.
The fresh water connection should be unscrewed (i.e., the non-toxic drinking water
hose disconnected) 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.
To disconnect the City Water Fill:
1. Shut OFF the water at the pressurized water source.
2. Unscrew and disconnect the non-toxic drinking water hose and reinstall
the connection cap. The connection cap should always be installed if the
water fill is not in use.
Using the Gravity Fill: (Fig. 8.2)
The fresh water tank is filled using the Gravity Fill inlet. Pour fresh water into the
Gravity Fill from an external container of fresh water. Allow extra time to fill the
fresh water system if you are using this method. The Gravity Fill will have a
Potable Water Label next to it. Do not remove this label.
