SECTION 7 –
PLUMBING
NOTE: We recommend that you check and clean
the strainer after each tankful of water
during the first few uses of the water
pump system. Thereafter, remember to
check it at least yearly, and be sure to
empty water from it during winterization
procedures.
To Clean Pump Strainer
•
Be sure all water pump switches are OFF.
•
Twist the inlet cap (bowl) counter-clockwise
to unscrew from the strainer assembly.
•
Remove the bowl and pull the strainer screen
out of the bowl to tap out any particles and
rinse clean.
•
Insert the strainer screen back into the bowl,
then screw the bowl back onto the strainer
assembly.
NOTE: You must also empty the strainer when
winterizing your coach to avoid water
freezing and cracking the filter bowl.
Water Pump Switch
The water pump switch is located on the
systems monitor panel. (Some models may have
an additional switch in the water service center or
within the bathroom area for your convenience).
While the switch is “ON”, the pump will
automatically supply water as it is needed.
We recommend that you turn the water pump
switch off whenever you will be away from the
vehicle or not using the water system. In time, a
slow leak in a faucet could drain the water tank,
fill the holding tank, and discharge the house
batteries.
Initial Waterline Priming
1. Make sure that all water drain valves are
closed, including water heater valve.
2. Turn water pump switch to “OFF” position.
3. Fill water tank.
4. Open all faucets, hot and cold.
5. Turn on pump switch.
6. Close each faucet as it begins to deliver a
steady stream of water (close cold water first).
Leave hot water faucets on until they also
deliver a steady stream of water. This will
ensure that the water heater is filled with
water.
7. Check to be sure pump stops soon after all
faucets have been closed.
8. Pump is now ready for automatic operation.
Pump will start when a faucet is opened and
stop when the faucet is closed.
FULL-COACH WATER
FILTRATION SYSTEM
–If Equipped
The full-coach water filtration system is
connected to the cold water lines throughout the
coach. It uses a flow-through filter that removes
chlorine, cloudiness and sediments, resulting in
