An electric water pump should not be used for filling or pulling water out of the Valterra RV Water Tank # R8042, according to the manufacturer. This is designed by the manufacturer as a "low pressure application only."
I have added a link to a video review of this tank for you to check out, as well as a link to our entire selection of fresh water tanks, which have a range of 4-1/2 to 36 gallon capacities. view full answer...
The Valterra Antifreeze Hand Pump, # P23507VP, when connected to the city water connection, will circulate fluid through the RV's water system on the back side of the fresh water tanks pump. view full answer...
If you are able to ensure that the fresh water will be safe to use after being stored in the 39 Gallon DeeZee Truck Bed Auxiliary Tank # DZ91752X then I suppose you could use it.
I don't know much in the way of being able to clean it like that and since this tank is designed to hold fuel I would be more inclined to recommend using the 36 Gallon Valterra RV Water Tank # R8072 instead just to be on the safe side of things. view full answer...
Yes you can use the Camco TastePure Drinking Water Freshener for RV and Marine Fresh-Water Tank on your fresh water system instead of bleach.
For proper use of this, you're going to need to use 1oz of # CAM40206 per 20 gallons of water. view full answer...
To add the Camco TastePure Drinking Water Freshener # CAM40206 to your RV tank, you will first fill the tank to about 1/4th of its total volume. Then you will pour 1 oz of the Water Freshener into the tank for each 20 gallons of tank capacity. Then simply complete the filling of the tank and you are all set.
This will help eliminate algae and slime buildup from the tank along with removing any bad taste or odor. This is a 16 ounce bottle. view full answer...
Yes, RV water tanks like the Valterra RV Water Tank # R8018 can only handle low pressure so they are limited to being used in a gravity fill setup or with a hand pump like # 37297025. view full answer...
Yes, the Camco Swivel Stik RV Black-Water Tank Rinser # CAM40074 will connect to a garden hose to provide the incoming water supply for rinsing out your RV black water tank. You would not want to use your fresh water tank supply since a complete and thorough rinsing might require more water than it holds. Also, the higher pressure of the RV park's water supply will provide for better cleaning action.
You can refer to the linked demonstration video to see how this handy device makes tank... view full answer...
A vacuum breaker like the Replacement Check Valve/Vacuum Breaker for Factory RV Tank Flushing Systems - 1/2" MPT # A10-3050 is used on a toilet flush valve to prevent water from being siphoned backward into the drinking water system. It doesn't matter if different hoses are used as the water can be siphoned from one area to another if not protected. If not used a toilet tank or even an overfull toilet could possibly be sucked back into the fresh water tank. Even though it would be an... view full answer...
The Fogatti RV Tankless Water Heater - Gas - Automatic Pilot - 41,800 Btu - Black Item # LSB44FR requires a cold water inlet pressure of 14.5~116PSI to properly operate. If your tank with ShurFlow water pump can support this you'll have no issues. If you're having water pressure issues from the water heater then you'll need to increase the PSI (while still within the 116PSI maximum) by adjusting your pump or using a water regulator like the Valterra Adjustable Water Regulator for RVs -... view full answer...
Each pouch in the Pure Power Blue Treatment for RV Holding Tanks - Fresh Clean Scent - Drop In Pouches - Qty 12 Item # V23015 treats up to a 40 gallon tank. It is recommended that after you drain your tank to add some water back into your tank before putting in a pouch. There is not set amount that needs to be in the tank. I recommend letting the water run into your tank for about 10-15 seconds then add the pouch. This allows the pouch plenty of time to dilute and mix. view full answer...
The Valterra City Water Inlet for RVs - White - Gravity Fill # A01-2001VP is most likely similar to your Lance 1545. The Camco RV Plastic Fresh-Water Fill Hose - 1-1/4" Diameter - 10' Long # CAM36601 will work fine using hose clamps like # H03-0006 as you stated on the barb fittings.
The red plug you are referring to doesn't make sense to me. Our tanks like # R8060 have a red plug that is for the bottom open fitting on the tank, not near the top where you would fill it. I recommend... view full answer...
I spoke with my contact at LaSalle Bristol and he verified that there is no risk of damaging your fresh water tank if the ThermaHeat Holding Tank Heater Pad # 277-000163 comes on when the tank is empty. As you mentioned in your question, the pad will automatically turn on when the tank's temperature (not the outside temperature) reaches 45 degrees but it will automatically turn off as soon as it gets up to 67 degrees. This means it will not get near hot enough to cause any damage to the... view full answer...
I do have an option for you but Lippert was not able to provide the restart pressure for the Flow Max RV Fresh Water Pump part # LC689052. That said, I was able to find this info for a very similar pump, the Seaflo Diaphragm Pump for Boats and RVs part # SE58FR which has a restart pressure rating of 35 psi plus or minus 5 psi. view full answer...
To know the recommended max distance you would need to look at your water pump's manual to know what your pump's discharge rating is and how big your pipe is to determine the water pressure. If you're wanting to know about distance from the water pump and the tank then there should also be specs in the pump manual for that as well.
The distance horizontally is not as important between the pump and the tank but the difference in height between the pump and tank (lift) should be kept small... view full answer...
Yes, since the holding tank pads operate on a thermostat and turn on automatically, a different switch makes sense with the ThermaHeat RV Holding Tank or Step Heater Pad with Thermostat # 277-000164 and Elbow Heating Pad # 277-000161.
For the switch I recommend the Universal-Design Rocker Switch # PK34310. view full answer...
The Replacement Check Valve/Vacuum Breaker for Factory RV Tank Flushing Systems part # A10-3050 can be used on either black or grey water holding tanks to protect fresh water supply from contamination. I have attached a photo for you which shows how you will plumb in the check valve. We also offer the Valterra No-Fuss Flush with Check Valve part # A70 for easy flushing of your black or grey water tanks. view full answer...
The Camco TastePure Drinking Water Freshener part # CAM40206 is safe to drink so no, you do not need to drain the tanks after filling and adding the water freshener according to Camco. You will first fill the tank to about 1/4th of its total volume, then add 1 oz of the Water Freshener into the tank for every 20 gallons of water.
If you are looking for a product used for flushing the system then I suggest the Camco TastePure Freshener and Dewinterizer for RV and Marine Fresh-Water System... view full answer...
A backflow preventer like # CAM23402 is installed between the city water connection and your fresh water tank to prevent the city water connection from overfilling your fresh water tank and worst case from contaminating your fresh water. The water pressure regulator like # CAM40064 should be used in line with on the opposite side of the city water connection so you can adjust pressure for your trailer whether using your tank or the city water connection. view full answer...
The HydroMax RV Fresh Water Pump # P25201 referenced in your question does indeed have an internal bypass for low cycling. I verified this with the manufacturer.
This is an excellent self-priming pump with a 3-gallon-per-minute operation. I have included a couple video demonstrations that you can check out as well. view full answer...
The SewerSolution Macerator System # SS01 does operate with enough pressure to allow draining your RV black water tank even on an uphill slope. The incoming clean water pulverizes solid waste and pushes it through the drain tube into the black water tank. After draining the tank, the water jet can be rotated to push clean water into the black water tank to rinse it.
This system is small and enough to use that it can be stored when not in use but if you were at a permanent campsite with... view full answer...
