3.
The water heater (if so equipped) will fill first, followed by the supply lines and faucets.
Water heater bypass valves (if so equipped) A and B must be open to allow water into
the water heater, valve C should be closed. Refer to the
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 recreation vehicle 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.
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 (If So Equipped)
You can fill the fresh water tank from a container of fresh water and the gravity water fill
inlet if you do not have access to City Water.
The gravity fill will have a potable water label next to it. Do not remove this label.
Low point & fresh water tank drains should be closed.
1.
Remove the connection cap and insert a non-toxic drinking water hose (or a funnel)
into the gravity fill inlet. The other end of the hose goes into a container of fresh potable
water.
2.
Pour the fresh water into the gravity fill until the tank is full.
3.
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.
4.
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.

NOTE:
The City Water Fill inlet when connected to a pressurized
fresh 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).
