There are additional Touch Screen Monitor Panels located in the bathroom and
in the basement water compartment. These additional screens are designed
just to give readings for all the holding tanks in the unit. No other functions
(inverter, genset, HVAC, etc.) controlled by the main Multiplex Touch Screen
are accessible by the auxiliary Multiplex Touch Screen Monitor Panels.
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.
Water Pump
The water pump is self-priming and totally automatic, operating on demand
whenever water is required. The water pump is used to pressurize the fresh
water system when the unit is not connected to city water. The switches to this
pump may be located in the bathroom, on the monitor panel, and in the water
works compartment. To start the pump follow these instructions:
1.
Fill or partially fill the fresh water supply tank.
2.
Open the kitchen and bathroom faucets.
3.
Turn the water pump switch on and allow the water to fill the water line
and the hot water heater.
4.
Close each faucet after it delivers a steady stream of water (close the cold
water first). Leave the hot water faucets on until they also deliver a steady
stream of water. This will ensure that the water heater is filled with water.
5.
The water pump should stop running once all faucets are closed.
6.
The pump is now ready for automatic operation. The pump will run when
a faucet is opened and stop when a faucet is closed.
7.
Never allow the pump to run for long periods of time without water in the
supply tank. Pump damage or blown fuses may result.
All of the water should be drained from the fresh water system when the unit
is not in use for more than one week. For more detailed information regarding
