New Water Pumps & Holding Tanks Mods

[Kurt Horvath]

Here are some photos in my Album Bumpersbird of the mostly completed
water bay up grade and repairs.

I just have to clean up and put it back together.
The first pic is of the completed installation of new pumps,
accumulator tank and quick connect fittings. I put in a three way
valve for the water dump with a port for fresh water on the curb
side. I also purchased a really neat water heater that will attach to
it if I need unlimited hot water. That is the last pic. The red arrow
points to the relocated power switch for the electric grill. The
plastic push switch that was located on the slide tray broke so I
just fashioned a holder and a new switch.

The second pic is of the old pumps & plumbing.

The third pic is the Holding Tank Bay. The red circled areas are the
new Gray water holding tank overflow. The top circle is the tie in to
the drain pipe into the tanks and the bottom circle is the drain hose
routed through the floor to outside the coach.

The red arrow is the re routing of the Air Purge System. I have heard
of so folks having the misfortune to have the check valve fail and
having the water system fill the air system with water the reverse
effect of how this is supposed to work. Not a good thing. So I ran
two lines into the pump bay,( fourth picture ). I capped the water
line with a ¼ quick connect air line fitting with a Schreder valve on
it. I can purge the water system with a clean air source if I ever
need to do that. The air line isn't plugged mostly because I only had
one fitting. The air regulator is shut off and if it leaks you'll be
able to hear it.

The lines on the fresh water tank are the marks for water used by the
Splendid 2000 Washer/Dryer. The first and largest usage was full
cycle with pre-wash. The second from the top is the Permanent Press
Cycle and the third line down is the Delicate Cycle. With a 120
gallon tank, the washer does use a lot of water three cycles together
all used about 60 gallons. The most used cycle is regular wash. I
don't have it marked on the tank but it was about ½ the usage of the
pre-wash & reg. wash combined. So you can see if your not paying
attention and your holding tanks are ¾ full the washer will overflow
the tank and the you have a real mess.

Never again the 6th photo is the Gray Water Tank completely full with
the washer dumping water into the tank. As you can see the overflow
is working very well..

Just to round off the holding tank upgrade I've order two of the
Lil' StankerTM MK-IVSTAINLESS STEEL Roof-Mounted Holding Tank
Deodorizer Fan

By the way, I always need something like these fans for the coach. I
found them last night on-line. Where??? Right here the OLD DATABASE.

Knowledge is POWER!
