Section 8: Plumbing System
Faucets
The bathroom, kitchen and outside shower faucets operate much the same way as the faucets
in your home. Make sure there is sufficient water available and the 12-volt water pump is
turned ON before operating.
NOTE: There may be air in the water plumbing lines which needs to be bled
out before a steady stream of water comes from the faucet.
Bathroom Tub / Shower
Keep the water heater and holding tank capacities in mind when using the fresh water sys-
tem. The used water will drain into the grey water holding tank.
Be sure the water heater is ON and had sufficient time to heat the water.
If dry camping, be sure your 12-volt water pump is ON.
Unlike your home, the recreational vehicle does not contain a water pressure balance valve.
If someone is using the shower, it is recommended that the fresh water system
NOT BE
USED
until they are finished.
The shower faucet may include a vacuum breaker for the shower. There are two purposes
for this breaker:
To prevent siphoning water through the hose from another fixture.
To prevent water from being retained in the hose.
The showerhead DOES NOT have a complete shut-off valve (the complete shut-off is at the
faucet). The showerhead may drip slightly in the OFF position after use; this is normal and
does not indicate a leak or defect.
Maintenance
Refer the manufacturer’s user guide or label instructions for detailed cleaning information.
Water temperatures over 125°F (49°C) can cause severe burns instantly there-
fore, be careful when using hot water.
Always test the water temperature
before showering or washing.
3.
Remove the handheld shower from its holder.
4.
Turn ON the hot and cold faucet knobs, and adjust the water temperature as desired.
5.
To activate the handheld shower turn ON the sprayer head attachment (some models).
To turn off the water,
always
close the hot/cold control (faucet) knobs. The lever on the
shower head will not completely stop the flow of water; this is intentional to allow for drain
-
ing. After the water has been allowed to drain from the shower head, return it to the outside
shower storage. Any remaining water in the shower hose will drip or run out; this is not a
leak but performs as intended. If you are dry camping, turn the water pump OFF.
Turning off the water with the shower head lever can also create a condition where the hot
and cold water will mix through the outside shower faucet, thereby reducing the temperature
of the hot water. It can appear as though the hot water heater is not working properly.
NOTE: The shower head may be removed from the hose so that it will drain
faster. If you remove the shower head, be sure to reassemble it prior to stor-
age.
NOTE: When putting the shower assembly back into the storage compart-
ment, make sure the hose is not pinched or the shower head is positioned in a
way it can be damaged.
