You can gravity fill the fresh water system if
you do not have access to city water; however,
allow extra time to fill the fresh water system if
you are using this method. Follow the steps
listed above; however, at step 3 put the other
end of the garden hose into your container of
fresh water, and at step 4 turn ON the water
pump (instead of turning ON the water at the
water source). When the fresh water tank is
full, shut OFF the water pump and disconnect
the garden hose as discussed in step 8.

Excessive pressure from water supply
systems may be encountered in some parks,
especially
in mountain regions. Water
pressure regulators are available to protect
your system against such high pressure. A
regulator of this type is recommended to
prevent damage to the plumbing system or
components.
Water pressure regulators
(customer supplied) are available from your
RV dealer to protect the RV plumbing system
against such high pressure.

Once activated, the water pump (also known
as the on-demand pump) will self-prime, and
provide water. The water pump continues to
run until approximately 45 lbs. of pressure is
achieved and shut off. The water pump will
automatically re-start when pressure drops.
Some cycling may occur, depending on the
volume of water being released. The water
pump is engineered by the OEM with a check
valve to prevent water from back flowing into
the fresh water supply tank
The water pump switch should be in the
OFF
position when the RV is left
unattended for any amount of time. If
something would happen to the water
system, this may help limit water damage
to a smaller area.

When you want to use water in your RV and
the RV is not hooked up to city water, you will
need sufficient 12-volt DC power to run the
water pump. Depending on your trailer model,
the pump will be located under the bed, in a
cupboard, under the unit or under the sink. The
switch to operate the water pump is located on
the monitor panel or an interior wall.

The water heater is designed to heat water
quickly and efficiently. The water heater
manufacturer has preset the sensing limit to
maintain the water temperature when the
water heater is activated. Hydrogen gas in the
water lines may result if you have not used the
water heater for two weeks or more. To reduce
the risk of injury under these conditions, open
the hot water faucet for several minutes at the
kitchen sink before you use any electrical
appliance connected to the hot water system.
If hydrogen is present, you probably will hear
an unusual sound such as air escaping
through the pipe as the water begins to flow.
Hydrogen gas may be present even after
water has been drained from the tank. Open
faucet at the sink and allow system to vent for
five to ten minutes (or as needed).

PLUMBING SYSTEM
WARNING
Do not replace any component part with an
accessory part that is not authorized by the
water heater manufacturer, such as an
“add-on” electric heating element. Such
items are not approved to be installed and
could create an unsafe condition and will
void all warranties.
CAUTION
Not using a water pressure regulator when
using city water may cause the o-rings to
blow. To prevent damage to the plumbing
system or components when using the city
water connection, a 45 lb. (315 KPa) rated
water pressure regulator is recommended.
