Water Pump Strainer
The pump is equipped with a cleanable
strainer to capture any possible tank-borne
particles that could damage pump components.
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 if using the blowout
winterization procedure.
To Clean Pump Strainer
•
Ensure 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.
Water Pump Switch
The Water Pump switch is located on the
monitor panel (some models may have an
additional switch in the water service center, near
the exterior shower, or within the bathroom area
for your convenience).
While the switch is “ON”, the pump will
automatically supply water as it is needed.
Do not leave the pump on while away from
your motorhome or while driving.
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. Ensure 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 the Water 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 ensure the Water Pump stops soon
after all faucets have been closed.
8. The Water Pump is now ready for automatic
operation. The pump will start when a faucet
is opened and stop when the faucet is closed.
