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 freshwater system when the unit is not
connected to city water. The switches (Figure 11-5) to this pump may be located in the bathroom,
galley, or sanitation-service 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
faucet first). Leave the hot-water faucets “on” until they also deliver a steady
stream of water. This procedure will assure that the water heater is filled with
water.
5.
The water pump should stop running once all faucets are closed.
6.
The water pump is now ready for automatic operation. The pump will run
when a faucet is open and stop when a faucet is closed.
7.
Never allow the pump to run for long periods of time without water being present in the
supply tank, as doing so may cause physical damage or blow fuses.
If water does not flow when a faucet is turned “on” while using the demand system, use the
following troubleshooting chart:
SITUATION
SOLUTION
Pump running – no water
1. Fill tank.
2.
Clear the water line to the pump.
Pump doesn’t run
1. Check the pump switch
2.
Check the 12-volt fuses
3.
Check the electrical connections
4.
Check the battery.
All of the water should be drained from the freshwater system when the unit is not in use for
extended periods. For more detailed information regarding the water pump, one should refer to the
water-pump manufacturer’s brochure in your Phaeton Owner’s Information Package.
