for an explanation on configuring the bypass valves. Bypass valves are normally lo
-
cated near the water heater.
The fresh water connection should be unscrewed (i.e., the non-toxic drinking water hose dis-
connected) when the recreation vehicle is left unattended for any amount of time. If some-
thing would happen to the water system, this may help limit water damage to a smaller area.
To Disconnect the City Water Fill
1. Shut OFF the water at the pressurized water source.
2. Disconnect the non-toxic drinking water hose and reinstall the connection cap. The
connection cap should always be installed if the water fill is not in use.
Using the Gravity Fill (if so equipped)
You can fill the fresh water tank from a container of fresh water and the gravity water fill
inlet if you do not have access to City Water.
The gravity fill will have a potable water label next to it. Do not remove this label.
Low point and fresh water tank drains should be closed.
1. Remove the connection cap and insert a non-toxic drinking water hose (or a funnel)
into the gravity fill inlet. The other end of the hose goes into a container of fresh potable
water.
2.
Pour the fresh water into the gravity fill until the tank is full.
3. Open both the hot and cold water faucets, along with outside shower faucets (if so
equipped) when filling the fresh water tank to allow air pockets to be forced out of the
system.
4. When the fresh water tank on the RV is full, remove the non-toxic drinking hose and
container from the gravity water fill. Replace the connection cap. This cap should al
-
ways be installed if the water fill is not in use.

Draining the Fresh Water System
Water tanks may be drained through a valve located near the tank. A recreational vehicle
with a demand pressure pump system will have low-point drains attached to the water lines
(normally located near the water tank).
These low-point drains will release water in the supply lines by opening the valves and all
faucets. The water heater has its own drain plug. To drain the permanent fresh water holding
tank and supply lines:
1.
Turn the water heater power OFF (turn off the electric and LP GAS
switches).
2. Open all faucets, including the outside shower faucet (if so
equipped).
3. Open the “fresh tank drain” valve. All fresh water tanks can be
drained by one of two types of drain valves. A white plastic drain
is attached to the exterior wall or a valve located inside the RV ad-
jacent to the water tank (turn 45° to open or close).
