Anderson valve question

[Shortest Straw]

This is our first rig with this valve. My understanding is that to use the on board tank water we need to switch it from city to normal. Our pump is pumping water on city, out of the fresh tank, into the coach when we need it. The water is off here due to a broken main. Is this ok to do or do I need to switch it before using the pump?

On the original Anderson Valves, you did have to switch to NORMAL before turning on the pump, and back to CITY when hooked up to a faucet.

More recently, the valve design includes a secondary channel so that you can use the pump while set to CITY, and I believe you can use the faucet while set to NORMAL.

Thank you Dan. Have a safe and Happy New Year!

Just remember to turn off city water, when you have it, before you switch settings. It's easy to blow out the rubber washers under pressure.

I like to also bleed off all water pressure after shutting off...takes a bunch more pressure off of the components.
