Water pressure at some campgrounds may be low on city water. The water<br />

pump can be turned on to assist the city water hookup pressure. Be sure there<br />

is some water in the fresh water tank. The pump will only use the water that is<br />

needed out of the tank to bring the pressure up to the usual standard.<br />

Reverse the valve to bypass water heater for winterizing.<br />

WATER PUMP AND STRAINER<br />

The water pump and strainer are located<br />

under the wardrobe on all models and<br />

is accessed by a hinged or removable<br />

bottom shelf or removable front panel.<br />

To clean strainer screen, unscrew the<br />

clear plastic strainer cap, counter<br />

clockwise, remove and clean the screen. After cleaning, place the screen<br />

back in the strainer cup and hand tighten the cap snuggly. NOTE: DO NOT<br />

OVERTIGHTEN. The gasket ring inside the cap performs sealing and too much<br />

pressure will only break the strainer cap or ruin<br />

the gasket.<br />

Start the pump and check for leaks. If a priming problem develops check all<br />

connection for air leaks. The complete strainer assembly can be removed by<br />

loosening the threaded disconnect nuts at the pump and strainer inlets.<br />

SANITIZING<br />

Potable water systems require periodic maintenance to deliver a consistent flow<br />

of fresh water. Depending on use and the environment the system is subject to,<br />

sanitizing is recommended prior to storing and before using the water system<br />

after a period of storage. Systems with new components, or ones that have<br />

been subjected to contamination, should also be disinfected as follows:<br />

1. Use one of the following methods to determine the amount of common<br />

household bleach needed to sanitize the tank.<br />

A) Multiply “gallons of tank capacity” by 0.13; the result is the<br />

ounces of bleach needed to sanitize the tank.<br />

B) Multiply “Liters of tank capacity” by 1.0; the result is the milliliters<br />

of bleach needed to sanitize the tank.<br />

2. Mix into solution the proper amount of bleach within a container of water.<br />

3. Pour the solution (water/bleach) into the tank and fill the tank with potable<br />

water.<br />

4. Open all faucets (Hot & Cold) allowing the water to run until the distinct<br />

odor of chlorine is detected.<br />
