5. Installation
5.1 Mounting
- Choose a dry, well-ventilated location for mounting the pump.
- Mount the pump on a solid surface using appropriate fasteners to minimize vibration.
- Ensure there is sufficient space around the pump for ventilation and future maintenance.
5.2 Plumbing
- Connect the inlet side of the pump to your water source (e.g., fresh water tank).
- Connect the outlet side of the pump to your water distribution system.
- Use flexible hoses to reduce noise and vibration. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
- The pump can run dry, but prolonged dry running is not recommended.
5.3 Electrical Connection
- Connect the pump to a 12V DC power source.
- Install a 5 AMP slow blow fuse in the positive (+) power line as close to the power source as possible.
- Ensure correct polarity: Red wire to positive (+), Black wire to negative (-).
6. Operation
- Ensure all plumbing connections are secure and the water tank has sufficient water.
- Open a faucet in your water system to allow air to escape.
- Turn on the 12V power supply to the pump. The pump will begin to run.
- Allow the pump to run until a steady stream of water flows from the faucet and all air is purged from the system.
- Close the faucet. The pump will build pressure and then shut off automatically once the system pressure reaches 30 PSI (2.07 bar).
- The pump will automatically restart when a faucet is opened or system pressure drops.
7. Maintenance
7.1 General Care
- Regularly inspect all plumbing and electrical connections for wear or damage.
- Keep the pump area clean and free from debris.
7.2 Winterization (for cold climates)
- Drain all water from the pump and plumbing system to prevent freezing damage.
- Consider using non-toxic RV antifreeze according to its manufacturer's instructions.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pump does not run | No power, blown fuse, loose wiring, motor thermal overload | Check power supply, replace fuse (5 AMP slow blow), tighten connections, allow motor to cool |
| Low flow or no water | Empty water tank, clogged inlet filter, air in system, kinked hose | Refill tank, clean filter, purge air by opening faucets, straighten hose |
| Pump runs continuously / cycles rapidly | Leak in plumbing, open faucet, faulty pressure switch, air in system | Check for leaks, close all faucets, contact service for pressure switch, purge air |
| Excessive noise/vibration | Loose mounting, rigid plumbing, air in system | Secure mounting, use flexible hoses, purge air |
