Water pump operation
1.
Confirm water is present in the fresh water tank.
You may visually check the tank or use the tank monitor panel to confirm water level.
2.
Open hot and cold kitchen, bath, and shower faucets.
3.
Open the water heater bypass valve to allow water heater to fill.
4.
Turn on the water pump.
5.
Close each faucet after the water is flowing steadily.
6.
The water pump will stop running when the water lines are fully pressurized.
7.
The pump is a demand only pump which means that when the pump switch is in the “on” position the pump
will run when using water.
Note: If the pump cycles on/off while not using water, you may require minor adjustment of the water pump pressure switch
or have a minor water leak in the plumbing system. Seek service advice if the pump continues to cycle when not using
water.
SANITIZING THE FRESH WATER SYSTEM
Keeping the fresh water system free of contaminates is critical in proper use of the fresh or potable water system. To sanitize
and reduce growth of algae and similar contaminants, you may sanitize the fresh water system using the following procedure:
1.
Drain the fresh water tank.
2.
Prepare a chlorine solution of using one gallon of water and ¼ cup of liquid bleach for every 15 gallons of tank
capacity.
3.
Close all drains and faucets.
4.
Pour the solution into the fresh water tank by way of the exterior tank fill.
5.
Turn on pump and open each faucet until the water flows freely and a distinct odor of bleach is present. Close the
faucets.
6.
Allow the system to sit undisturbed for approximately 3 – 4 hours.
7.
Drain the system by opening all faucets and drains while running the water pump.
8.
Continue filling the entire water system with clean water and run water through all facets until the bleach odor is no
longer present.
9.
Fill the water system one more time followed by a final draining of the tanks.
10.
Replace the water filter if so equipped.
11.
The system is now ready for normal use.
Connection to city water
You may bypass the fresh water tank and connect a garden hose directly to the exterior water fill which is threaded to accept
a garden hose. This method will bypass the fresh water tank and pump and will use the garden hose pressure to supply water
to faucets. Typically this is the preferred water use method when in an improved campground.
Water heater
The water heater in your trailer is fueled by propane with a 12-volt electronic ignition switch. Your water heater may also be
equipped with a 120-volt electric heater element for use when connect to 120-volt shore power.
NOTICE
The water heater must be completely filled with water prior to turning on the propane or the
electric heater element. Even momentary operation of the electric heater without submersion in
water will burn out the 120-volt heater element. Element failure is not covered under any
warranty terms.
WATER HEATER PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
Your water heater is equipped with a pressure relieve valve which is located behind the exterior access door. This valve will
open when excess pressure or temperature is reached. Due to the smaller size of the water heater tank, slight dripping of the
pressure valve is normal due to water expansion when heating the water. One can minimize the dripping by creating or
replenishing an air pocket at the top of the tank using the following the procedure list below.
