12 VOLT DC DEMAND PUMP
To utilize water from your water tank, you need to have 12 volt DC power to operate the
demand pump. Energy for the pump is supplied by the auxiliary battery or converter.

cupboard, under the unit or under the sink. The switch to operate the pump is located on the
monitor panel or a wall near the pump.

unattended for any amount of time. If something would happen to the water system,
this will help limit water damage to a smaller area.
WATER PRESSURE REGULATOR
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. A regulator of this type is recommended to prevent

Caution: Not using a water pressure regulator when using city water may cause the
o-rings to blow. It is advisable to always use a water pressure regulator when using
the city water connection.

instructions.
