4. Allow time for the system to be filled. Shut off each faucet as the
flow becomes steady and free of air. When the last faucet is turned
off, the pump should turn off as well.
5. The system is now pressurized and ready for normal operation and use.
6. During normal operation the pump will cycle on whenever a water
outlet source is turned on or when pressure drops in the line. A
check valve in the pump will keep water from back flowing.
7. If the pump cycles frequently while there are no water outlets open,
you may have one of three common issues:
a. Debris accumulation in the filter. Remove and clean.
b. Leak in the line between tank and pump. Have your dealer
repair the system.
c. Pump needs priming. This is sometimes due to a weak pump,
which will need to be replaced by your dealer.
SHOWER
The shower-head is removable for hand-held use. It may be equipped with
a water flow control device to conserve water usage while showering.
Showering Instructions:
1. Check water level in tanks via the monitor screen. You don’t want to
run out of water in the middle of a shower.
2. If dry camping, make sure 12V system and water pump are turned on.
3. Turn the Alde
®
system to hot water supply mode. Follow
instructions in the Alde
®
manual.
4. Enter shower, close door, and pull the shower curtain so it
securely covers all exposed wood areas.
5. Turn on exhaust fan to actively remove moisture vapor.
6. Remove the shower head, turn on valves, adjust the hot and cold
valves to desired temperature. Spray directly into the drain to avoid
unpleasant temperatures.
7. Water may be cold until hot water makes its way through the pipes
from the Alde
®
boiler. If it is continuously cold adjust the hot water
mixing valve underneath the sink.
8. To save water while showering, rinse, turn water off while applying
soap and then thoroughly rinse again.
9. Turn water off at the hot/cold knob, let excess water drain from
shower head and hang it up. It is normal for the shower head to drip
slightly after being turned off.
10. Wipe down shower with a dry rag to keep water stains to a
minimum and remove moisture.
11. You can crack open the shower door just a little and keep exhaust
fan running to draw air movement through to dry loosely hung
towels and clear the air of moisture. The less time the
shower is wet, the better it will hold up.
Never exceed 50 PSI when using the city
water connection with the fresh water
system. Water damage may occur if fittings
or pipes fail under excessive pressures.
CAUTION
Never run the water pump dry. Damage
may occur and your pump may be
ruined. Follow all supplied manufacturer
instructions to properly operate pump.
CAUTION
The number one issue the nuCamp
Customer Service Team is asked concerns
the issue of no hot water. This is a simple
fix and is only a matter of adjusting the
hot water mixing valve to the (+) symbol
located near the Alde® boiler. Follow
manufacturer instructions for proper
valve adjustment.
