SERVICES WATER SYSTEM

Water system - Introduction

All Swift Group motorhome water systems
have been designed around a pump fitted
within the motorhome. This pump draws water
from an under floor or internal water tank,
to provide water pressure within the water
system, whenever it is switched on and water
is available.

The schematic below shows the basic
configuration of the water system:

When power is supplied to the pump, it will 1. T hrough blue water pipes routed directly to

heater. 2. To the water heater.

The pump is fitted with its own pressure Water from the pump enters the bottom of the
switch, and the pump will continue to pump water heater. Once the water fills the water

pressure to be achieved, the taps must be water heater. This water, which is still under

each tap via the red pipes.
When the taps are opened, water will leave
the tap via the spout, and the pressure in the To winterise the system please see

reduce. Because of this reduction in pressure,
the pressure switch on the pump will switch
back on and the pump will again run to pump
more water.

Close to the pump, the water under pressure
is split into two paths:
