Can Electric Pump be Used With Valterra RV Water Tank
Updated 07/15/2019 | Published 07/12/2019 >
Question:
Hi, Im looking at the following fresh water tank R8042 The info states: This tank should only be used as gravity fed or with a hand pump. It should not be used with electric water pumps. Is this referring to filling or pulling water out? Thanks,

Expert Reply:
An electric water pump should not be used for filling or pulling water out of the Valterra RV Water Tank # R8042, according to the manufacturer. This is designed by the manufacturer as a "low pressure application only."
I have added a link to a video review of this tank for you to check out, as well as a link to our entire selection of fresh water tanks, which have a range of 4-1/2 to 36 gallon capacities.
