Water Pumps & Holding Tanks

[Kurt Horvath]

I started the re-build on the water pumps today. I'm happy one of the
pumps failed. What a mess, I'll post before and after shots when I
get it finished. I have reduced the number on elbows by 80%. That
should greatly increase the pumps efficiency.

I took the metal cover off the curb side tank bay just to make sure
all the pushing and pulling on the pipes didn't loosen anything. Well
of course that just presented more opportunities to fix and upgrade.

The water filter was the first thing that jumped out at me, I will
take it out and backwash the filter. I would like to replace it. I'm
sure it's original equipment = 13 + years old. The thing I don't know
anything about is the little pressure regulator or whatever it is,
mounted to the top of the filter. Obviously it increases or decrease
pressure but to what end? Also the water pipes are routed to and
looped around it, so I'm guessing this filters water to a specific
place. Does anyone know to where?

I would like to install a gray water tank over flow pipe. Last year I
ran a load of laundry and went to breakfast with some friends, a
short time latter a call on the cell and my neighbor was telling me
that the coach was leaking. I ask from where and he responded with
EVERYWHERE! Well anyway no permanent damage. I thought of dumping the
Slendide washer/dryer, but I like it. So I never have that problem
again a grey water tank over flow pipe is in the future. I'm sure
someone will chime in with the perils of dumping greywater on the
ground. That's not my intention, my intention is to never fill the
interior of my coach with gray water again.
