Jon,

I have no problem using my pump. Other than it being loud. I need air bags on that thing and insulate the bay like the Generator. LOL

Safe travels,

I’ve found a half dozen campgrounds that have really high water pressure. A weak point in your plumbing might be the line going to your frige ice maker…

We’ve been using this regulator on campground spigots for years:

Water Regulator

Having come from the marine world with over 25 years of live aboard experience it was always a rule to never leave dock pressure water on while not on vessel. I found that if one didn’t use the fresh water tank regularly, that the water would become smelly and stagnant. As a result for the past 20 plus years we only used dock water to fill fresh water tank(s). Usually we could go almost a week before refilling.

Since moving to a coach (our first of any type) 2 years ago I have followed the same rule. Although we use water when in a park more liberally, it is so easy to just push a button to fill the tanks and drain the holding tanks. I even took it to a further convenient step. I acquired a “blue tooth” water valve that is on the hose bib before house filters and water softener. From inside the coach I can open the valve for as many minutes I deem appropriate and concurrently press other buttons to dump holding tanks. Never have to worry about over pressure and the headhunter pumps are amazingly reliable. I have had years of experience with these on different vessels.

Whenever I leave the coach I always turn off fresh water and any water heaters just in case there is a pipe failure or ice maker failure. As a licensed 100T captain moving and delivering many vessels from 30’ to 100’ this same procedure is always followed.

These buses are designed for this, just look at the size of the water tanks. Just my 2 cents.

Bernie,

I have a Gould’s waterpump by A.O. Smith. I think it’s original to the coach and still runs great. I also have a back-up pump, just in case of failure.

It looks like it would be an easy replacement; however, since A.O. Smith sold their waterpump business, so I’m thinking I would have to go somewhere else to get the exact replacement from Goulds to avoid re-plumbing in the water bay.

Rocky,

Your Liberty has a built in regulator, 45 psi I think, Jeff can correct me if that psi is wrong.

Tom,

Good to know, Thanks ! I will get another one to be able to monitor at the spigot.

Safe travels,

The pressure and flow of municipal water to our coaches is a non issue if the only time we rely on that water is to fill our tank.

I would hope that those who park a lot, and use municipal water would understand when they do engage their pumps and use the water contained within the tank it is like using stagnant water. Yuck.
