JAYCO CAMPING TRAILERS
Using the Gravity Water Fill: (Fig 8.2)
1. If needed, sanitize the water system. (Refer to Sanitizing the Plumbing
System section) Low point & fresh water tank drains should be closed
(Fig 8.7 & 8.8).
2. Remove the connection cap and insert a non-toxic drinking water hose
into the Gravity Fill inlet. The other end of the hose goes into a container
of fresh potable water.
3. Pour the fresh water into the Gravity Fill until the tank is full.
4. Open both the hot and cold water faucets, along with outside shower
faucets (if so equipped) when filling the fresh water tank to allow air
pockets to be forced out of the system.
5. When the fresh water tank on the RV is full, remove the non-toxic
drinking hose and container from the Gravity Water Fill. Replace the
connection cap. This cap should always be installed if the water fill is not
in use.

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

Once activated, the water pump (also known as the on-demand pump) will
self-prime, and provide water. The water pump has a built-in check valve to
prevent water from back flowing.
Read the safety and operating information provided in the manufacturer's literature
regarding care and operation of the 12V water pump.
Periodically check the in-line water pump strainer (Fig 8.3) for accumulated debris.
To clean, shut off the water pump, unscrew the clear cap, remove the re-useable
metal strainer and clear any debris, then reinstall.
