Offroad Grit RV Water System Explained

Offroad Grits Water Plumbing System Is simple and Effective

You may have noticed that filling and drawing from your water tanks looks a little different compared to the traditional method of filling each tank individually, so let’s break down exactly how it works.

Filling:

Plug your mains water hose into the single hose connection located on the right-hand side of your van, then open your plumbing hatch.

From here, turn the tank-fill valve open. If you want to fill one tank, simply select the corresponding valve. If you wish to fill all tanks together, open all valves at the same time.

Using Water

To use water inside your van, close the tank-fill valve and open the valve for the tank you want to draw from, or open all of them if you prefer to use them jointly.

Once your valves are set, switch your pump on and you are ready to go.

Keep in mind, the system will always draw from the tank closest to the pump first. When a tank becomes empty, close its valve and continue using the remaining tanks.

Switching for general water and drinking water is seperate

Designated Drinking Water:

To fill your drinking-water tank, open the tank-fill valve and only open the drinking-water valve.

To use water through the dedicated drinking-water tap, keep this valve closed, however, switch on the designated drinking-water pump.

If you prefer to use the drinking-water tank as standard water, simply turn off the drinking-water pump and open the drinking-water valve. The main pump will then draw from this tank like normal.

Hot Water Isolation

This valve only needs to be closed during servicing of the hot-water system. At all other times, it should remain open.

Mains Water:

Leaving the tank fill valve closed, plugging directly into the vans fill point will give the van mains pressure, you will not be required to turn any pumps on.

Overall, our goal was to create a clean, seamless water system that doesn’t require constantly connecting and disconnecting mains hoses to fill each tank individually. Everything is positioned at eye level inside a dust-free hatch, making it convenient and simple to use.

By locating the plumbing components outside the living area, it also keeps pump noise to a minimum so you can enjoy a quieter experience inside the van.
