The pump is self-priming and will run briefly to build up line pressure when the Water Pump
switch is first turned on. See "Initial Waterline Priming" for instructions on using the water
system for the first time.

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 during winterization procedures.

To Clean Pump Strainer
Ensure all Water Pump switches are OFF. Twist the inlet cap (bowl) "counterclockwise" 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 near the 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 tum 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. Ensure that all water drain valves are closed,
including water heater valve.
2. Tum Water Pump switch to "OFF" position.
3. Fill water tank
4. Open all faucets, hot and cold.
5. Tum 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.
