PLUMBING & BATH FEATURES
FRESH WATER SYSTEM
IMPORTANT
Ease of operation was the key element in the design of the water compartment and plumbing in your
unit. It is very important that you read and understand all the operating instructions for the plumbing
system prior to using your unit. Failure to connect and operate the system correctly can result in
damage that is not covered by the Newmar limited warranty.
IMPORTANT
The fresh water system in your Essex is designed to operate at a maximum of 60 PSI. Water
pressure levels above that can damage the fresh water plumbing in your unit. If your travels take you
to a destination where water pressure is above 60 psi, you must install a pressure regulator to reduce
the incoming pressure, or fill the fresh water tank and use the internal water pump to supply water to
your unit.
Kitchen Sink
The kitchen sink installed in your unit is a double-bowl design equipped with two sink covers to
provide additional counter space when not in use. Cleaning care consists of washing with mild
detergents and a soft cloth. Avoid using “S.O.S.” type cleaning pads because they may scratch the
surface. The faucet in the kitchen is a single-handle faucet with a pullout spout.
Bath Sink, Shower & Accessories
Use care when cleaning the bathroom sink to prevent scratching the surface. The bathroom
accessories include two towel bars and a tissue holder. The faucet in the bathroom consists of a
metal body. The shower installed is a combination fiberglass tub/shower with a glass shower
door. The tub faucet with shower head, hose and bracket coordinate with the sink faucet. An
optional assist handle may be installed in the tub/shower.
Water Pump Operation
Your Essex has a fully self-contained fresh water system with a fresh water storage tank, and a
“demand” style 12 volt DC electric water pump. This pump is designed to build pressure in the
fresh water plumbing in your coach, operating only when there is a demand for water on the
system.
When any water pump switch is turned on, the water pump will come and build pressure in the
system, and will shut off as soon as the system is correctly pressurized. When a faucet is opened,
the pump will turn on and operate as necessary to maintain the preset pressure in the system.
