EXCELLENT video Jared, one thing I would like to add for those using external tank rinsers... install a check valve/vacuum breaker as the first piece of the water connection. its fine to add more vacuum breakers along the line somwhere, but this vacuum breaker connected directly to the water pedestal is, in many cases, going to be higher than where its installed on the tank rinser (rhino blaster, flush king). Vacuum breakers should be about 12" above the rest of the water system to work best. as always, another super informative video Jared!

Good advice! One thing I would add is that it's handy to have an on/off valve on the end of the hose where it connects to your RV. Especially if the water spigot is some distance from your RV, it's often handy to be able to turn off/on the water without going to the spigot.

Worth adding is a pressure regulator on the black tank flush line. When we first used our trailer, I hooked it up directly as several here have described. About the third trip, it blew off a fitting between the hookup and spray nozzles, filling the underbelly with water. Repair time! Since then my flush hose has a pressure regulator and backflow preventer.

We avoid the pressure regulator completely by using only tank water. When the tank starts to get low we just turn on the hose and five minutes later we’re done. Since the tank vents to the atmosphere there is no way it can damage the plumbing. Side benefit…tank water is always fresh!

@TomSpurlock 4 месяца назад
TIP. Using the 6" white extension hose with yellow screw-on is handy. I never throw those away. It's much easier to leave one of those extensions attached to the regulator, making it much easier and quicker to screw the regulator to the faucet. It provides better grip with the little knobs, and more room for your hands to work at screwing it on, versus screwing the regulator directly onto the faucet. Try it, you'll like it.

You provided some good tips, some I intend to use. I would like to share some of my ideas: Depending on your RV, in my case, the city water connection is on the RV bulkhead outside compartments, so I add an 90 degree elbow at that connection to relieve any weight of a filter or other equipment. I add a "Y" gate with cutoff valves to the source. This allows me to add additional hoses without interrupting water to flow to the coach. The last thing is I do (when breaking down) is to empty the water hoses, then connect the ends together to keep out any unwanted dirt, bugs, etc from getting in to them.

You may consider a check valve in line to the black tank. It will protect any backwash into your potable water system. That’s just my plumber brain working.

I like your videos though, you always have good info…..or at least good food for thought. 👍

A couple of comments/questions… There’s pressure drop thru the hose too so I typically mount my pressure regulator just before it connects to the camper to keep my pressure inside the camper at the regulated pressure rather than less. How do you add minerals back into your drinking water that is treated with an RO system? Also….just a comment…..I include a backflow preventer (check valve) right after the splitter on the black tank wash hose to prevent anything backing up into my fresh water supply.

Yes as long as your hose can handle high pressure like a Zerro G that works but if you have a white hose those don't typically handle high pressure. We use this R.O. System. amzn.to/3WDFWHT Not a bad idea for redundancy on the black flow preventer.

I had an instance where the water quality was very poor. Unknowing, I connected the pressure regulator first and the water contaminants clogged and destroyed the pressure regulator. So now I test the water water pressure using a water pressure gauge. If its not high, I connect a short hose from the city supply to a large water filter (one that comes with a large water softener), then the pressure regulator and then hose to the RV. Inside of the fifth wheel, there is a triple water filter and softener (from Mobile Must Have) permanently installed. The output of these filters/softener is used to fill the fresh water tank and supply water to the rest of the RV. I have an RO and a UV filter under the sink for drinking water and the ice maker. Oh, I live in San Diego so I don't have to worry about cold weather.

We generally camp in more moderate to warm/hot temps, so I hookup a y-splitter them one one side my regulator then my filter then my hose to the RV. On the other side a misc hose w/sprayer for just spraying things off. I had one of those adjustable regulators and usually set it for 50-55 PSI, but I left it at some site so now I am using one of those preset inline models. I hope to rectify this at a later date. I do like the idea of the guage assembly to simply check the pressure, I will have to put one together. I think I have all the parts needed!

I have never been to a park that has high pressure, I find that just using the inline filter cuts the pressure down enough that I have never had issues. I would love to have the option of more water pressure, showers aren't fun when you have low pressure. I live in Canada and the winters get very cold, I made my own heated hose out of heat trace wire and some foam insulation that works so well that my water always came out luke warm after it would sit for a while. I like the fact that if my hose wears out I can replace it and not have to spend $200 on another heated hose. If the heat element goes out on a heated hose it's garbage, if my heat trace fails I just replace it with a new one from a hardware store for $30. They coil up small so I always have a few spares available for emergencies.

Your content has helped me a lot through several projects. I do have a couple of thoughts. First, when storing my hose/equipment I simply connect the male to the female end. This prevents bugs or dirt or even a fair amount of cross contamination should the fresh water hose come close to the black tank hose. Second, all the brass fittings need to be drinking water safe. Brass contains lead so picking up say a splitter in the garden department of a store is not a good idea if it is inline with the rv water supply. Finally, I use a backflow preventer on the part of my splitter where I’m going to to connect the black water hose. The black water hose is connected to the splitter at a full hookup site but at a dump station to the non potable faucet so cross contamination can be a concern. Oh yeah one more thing. I usually connect the splitter first before anything so the I can get the highest pressure possible spraying into the black water tank

Setup 1: Spray lysol (or generic equivalent) in and around the hose bib along with the knob or lever to kill germs while you gather your hose and parts. You can flush this out before you connect your hose. There is a good chance that last person who touched it was cleaning out their waste tank and/or hose.

Here's a tip, if you're faced with really low water pressure you can turn on your water pump while still connected to city water. We were at a park that had like 10psi of water pressure, way too low to take showers, turn on the 12v pump and back up to 45psi, most of the flow comes from the city water connection but just enough was supplied from the fresh water tank to allow for showers.

@mattkaminski6618 4 месяца назад
We usually put the hose first, filters, then regulator. Our hose and filter housings will withstand well over 100 psi so that's not much of a concern. The two reasons I chose setup this way is, first, there will be a pressure drop after the filter setup. How much will be determined by the type of filter and the age of the filter. I don't really want to drop the pressure down to 55~60 psi only to have it drop again after the filters. Second, when the regulator is first, all the sediment and contaminants in the water get pushed through the regulator, shortening its life. That might be the reason you've seen the pressure dial fail in the past. We do carry a spare regulator with us that I've tested and setup so it's ready to go just in case one fails or I leave it behind, somehow. If the pressure is over 100 psi, I'll probably put the regulator first, just to be on the safe side but we haven't had that issue yet.

I wish regulators could boost pressure too! Seems more common to find camp-supplied water sources deliver too low of pressure for satisfying flow at sink faucets and shower. In those instances I run from our freshwater tank which is helped by a capable pump and a pre-pressurized accumulator tank, but even it is filled through our regulated supply setup much as yours is (bib->regulator-> hose->in-line filter->flex extension->trailer->strainer->pump->household filter->faucet.) Out of habit, my first connection is just the supply hose which I run out for a few minutes to release initial crud from the camp's supply line and possibly the hose. My favorite tool is a MetroVac Sidekick blower that I also use to blow out the lines every time before capping the hoses and putting them away. Sort of a water snob so we also bring an 8 gal RO jug along for our drinking water, coffee and ice.

When testing just the water pressure make sure you flush the water faucet before you put the test guage on. The pressure guage has a very little hole to allow the water into the guage. Sand or any debris inside the waterline will cause a false reading on the gauge or not read at all.

I also don’t like to put the filter in front of the hose because a lot of the campgrounds I frequent have the water hookup down low by the ground and the filter would lay on the ground. Yucky. I built what I call a kanooter valve; quick connect, ball valve shutoff, filter, regulator, little hose piece, 90° brass fitting, quick connect. It stays as one piece and is easy to set up.

I'm surprised you connected your regulator directly to the spigot. We had one broken that way.

That way if someone trips over it or runs a bike into it your regulator can flex out of the way a bit.

Most rvs have one built in where you connect the hose.

In sub freezing weather, can you use an additional hose connected to your heated hose? Will it keep the water warm enough to prevent freezing in the extra hose?

The pressure regulator shown in the video had a flaw, the gauge will break if frozen and give an improper reading. Just use a fixed inline pressure regulator
@AllAboutRVs
@AllAboutRVs 4 месяца назад
Thats why it gets moved in the bay for connection because even an inline one can freeze, break and leave you with no water when frozen. It either has to be heated and wrapped or inside for me.

I'm paranoid about my black flush line and even though I know there's an anti-drainback valve in the RV I run another one in the black flush system. I like to be extra sure i'm not getting any contamination into my water system.

I do the exact same thing. Kind of a belt and suspenders for waste water.

The biggest issue we've encountered is spigots being too close to the ground leaving no room for regulator, never mind the filter. We're getting to the point where we'll just have the filter and regulator permanently connected to the RV in the wet bay then just hook up the hose.

Great idea especially if you have something like a Zero G hose that can handle over 500 psi

what good is that gauge ? it tells you the presure so what ? if you have a pressure regulator does not that do the job ?

I’m always amazed that the vast majority put the filter before the hose. It’s way too easy to get contamination in the hose for me to not filter it.

@AllAboutRVs 4 месяца назад
Yes many people prefer to filter what’s in the hose. Good idea to give it a quick flush before connecting it to get out what ever might be in there.

Reg, filter, hose. I don’t want the filter hanging off the rv adding weight to that point. We don’t drink water out of the rv. We use bottled water.

Ok, you are not addressing two important points. 1- You don't know the water pressure as it fluctuates throughout the day so the regulator should always be first (unless during the winter to keep the regulator from freezing 2- Psuedemonis bacteria grows in stagnent water in 12 hours not just dirt, filter should always be last in line. Keep physics and microbiology in mind. Great job in covering this topic.

Sorry, newbie here. Is there a reason to regulate your regular hose water? I put the y with my hose and sprayer on one side then the regulator with hose and filter on the other side. Sorry if that's a dumb question.

We had our tanks cleaned by Kleen Tank and the gentleman that did it said that you should adjust your pressure regular while the water is flowing into the RV with an open spigot, you agree?
@AllAboutRVs
@AllAboutRVs 4 месяца назад
Good question but No absolutely not. The water needs to be obviously turned on at the spigot to the regulator but no water flowing. If you did, once you stop the flow the pressure can go up and then damage the pipes.

We are still very new to RVing and we have found so far the sites we have visited the spicket is too close to the ground to add the filter after the regulator. So we set it up as regulator hose filter because of lack of spacing option. Is this setup still ok?
