Plumbing System

There are two different water systems in your recreation vehicle:

1. The fresh water system consists of the fresh water holding tank, faucets and con-nections, water pump, outside shower assembly (if so equipped), water heater, tub/shower, and water purification system (if so equipped).
2. The waste water system consists of the waste water and sewage holding tank(s), drains and toilet.

Plumbing System Maintenance

1. Check all fittings, pressure and waste, for leaks before each trip or before vehicle storage as part of your normal maintenance:
2. Inspect all faucets, the water purification system (if so equipped) and sink connec-tions (including drain baskets or filters).
3. Inspect connections at the water pump and water heater.
4. At the end of every trip, you should drain any unused water from the fresh water system.
5. All water contains contaminant and mineral particles that can cause fresh water system odors. Untreated well water is a major source of water system odors.
6. The fresh water (potable water) system needs periodic sanitization and winter-ization to take care of all the components within the plumbing system and help discourage the growth of bacteria and other organisms that can contaminate the water supply.

Typically, there are labels affixed to the exterior of the recreation vehicle sidewall that in-dicate the locations of the water system drains and fills. Be aware some drain valves may be located inside the vehicle (once the exterior label is found, go inside to find the drain corresponding location).
Refer to the manufacturer’s operating manual included in your warranty packet for the de-tailed operating, sanitizing, and winterizing information for each water system component.

Monitor Panel

Your motorhome may be equipped with a monitor panel out-side the coach at the outside wet bay. The monitor panel has representations of the tanks it can monitor (fresh, black, grey), there is a switch to operate the water pump, and a switch to turn on a light in the wet bay. Levels are indicated in percentage increments. A full tank will say “Full”, and empty tank will say “Empty”.
The tanks will read levels constantly so you can tell at a glance how full each one is. This monitor is linked to the one inside the coach on the Vega Touch screen. Levels can be checked from two locations, inside or outside the RV.

Vegatouch System
The touchscreen system in the RV includes a tank monitor screen that shows tank levels by percentage also. If the tanks are empty, they will read 0%, if they are full they will read 100%. The horizontal bars will fill in accord-ing to what percentage the tanks are indicating. There is also a switch to operate the water pump on this screen. Refer to the Vegatouch User Guide included in your warranty packet or online at http://www. fireflyint.com for specific instructions.

Fresh Water System
All water contains contaminant and mineral particles that can cause fresh water system odors. Untreated well water is a major source of water system odors. The fresh water (po-table water) system needs periodic sanitization to take care of all the components in the plumbing system to discourage the growth of bacteria and other organisms that can con-taminate the water supply.

WARNING:

1. DO NOT drink water deemed microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality.
2. Never travel with full fresh, black or grey water holding tanks.

Water Pressure Regulator (customer supplied)
Excessive pressure from the water supply source may be encountered in some parks, espe-cially in mountain regions when using the fresh water inlet or black tank flush. Water pres-sure regulators are available to protect your recreational vehicles plumbing system against such high pressure.

CAUTION:
A water pressure regulator is recommended to prevent damage to the plumb-ing system or components. To prevent damage when using the city water con-nection, a 45 lb. (315 KPa) rated water pressure regulator is recommended.

Fresh Water Holding Tank
There may be several ways to fill the fresh water tank depending on the model. For details of each method, refer to the Fresh Water Connections or the Utility Center sections. There are plastic overflow tubes in the fresh water holding tank which allow water to flow out of the water tank. Occasionally, you may see water coming from the overflow tubes when the fresh water holding tank is filled. This is normal and can be a result of the recreation vehicle being parked on an incline, or the motion caused by starting or stopping during travel.

CAUTION:

1. Do not cap, block or modify the fresh water tank overflow tubes in any way. Enough water pressure can build up during the filling process to damage the plumbing system if the overflow tubes are obstructed.
2. Be careful not to overfill the fresh water holding tank. It can pressurize the tank, causing leakage and water damage and void the warranty. DO NOT leave the tank unattended while filling.

To fill the fresh water tank using the “fresh water inlet” (located in the utility center)

1. Make sure the water tank drain, and hot & cold water lines (faucets) are closed.
2. Remove the fresh water connection inlet plug and connect the short hose on the utility center to the fresh water connection inlet. Connect the long hose on the reel to a pres-surized fresh water source.
3. Move the “city water / fresh tank fill valve” to the FILL TANK position.
4. Move the “Aqua-Hot water heater bypass valves” to the NORMAL position (supply valves to the water heater ON, center valve OFF).
5. Make sure the siphon valve (clear hose behind the utility panel) is pointing away from the clear hose.
6. Turn ON the water at the water source.
7. Open the cold water supply faucets to bleed the air from the water lines. When the water lines are nearly full, you may experience some “air pock-ets”. Allow them to escape before closing the cold water supply faucets.

To disconnect from the fresh water source

1. Shut OFF the water at the water source.
2. Move the “city water / fresh tank fill valve” back to the vertical CITY WATER position.
3. Disconnect the hose (on the reel) and reinstall the “fresh water connection inlet” plug.
