    x3 - especially if you are not going to be at your campsite to hear the pump running.
  • When we are in the trailer, I'll leave it on.
    If we are heading out for the day, I'll turn it off.

  • Whichever way you want to do it......

    Leave it ON and pumps runs 'on demand' ie: when you turn facet on, flush toilet etc.

    Turn it ON when you want to use it....pumps runs 'on demand'


    It only uses DC power WHEN it actually runs
