Water Pumps & Holding Tanks

[Leroy Eckert]

Your coach is much newer than mine. That said, that little regulator you are talking about on the filter could be the air regulator for the winterizing blow out system. Better check it out closely. You screw that up, a check valve goes bad and it can load up water in the aux air system. You don't even want that to happen and I assure you will not like the result.. I am serious. Be careful with that deal and trace the lines down before doing mods. Mine has an additional ball valve added to prevent the problem. My Splendide dumps into the black tank. The best thing that could ever happen to a black tank.

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. Kurt Horvath 95-PT 42 WLWB 10AC
