Water pump

[Curt Sprenger]

I've been out of town for a few day and probable missed some of this thread.

What I did is eliminate the OEM pressure regulator/check valve combo unit, installing only a check valve on the coach fill side, and using a 50psi pressure regulator on the outer end of the fill hose (should use one when hooked to shore water connection); this resolved all the tank fill issues that I have experienced. Yes, the sporlan valve may get plugged but so far only once in 3+ year. The problem was the OEM regulator was plugging up and stopping the water flow. I have pictures of the unit I built, maybe a write up. Email me if you need more.

I got a phone call from a member looking to bypass the electric tank

fill and install a fresh water tank fill port independent of the

sole shore water hookup. MarkD 1988pt40 said his tank takes forever

to fillup like there is a restriction some place. Curt and others

posted about this issue also. Then I remember Macy post the

term "Engineer" and realized there must be more to it.



I notice that tankfills on sob's are not dripless threaded on. I

wonder if this design is to keep the fill water hose pressure from

splitting the fresh water tank??????



I also wonder if the slow fresh water tank fill common with the

Wonderlodges is a design limit???? to keep the overflow above the

design limit of the input???????



I can see that with the 110 psi one inch meter at my yard I could

split a tank if the overfill could not keep up with the 30 gpm!!!

This is a consideration with modifying the fill setup
