Water Pump question

Hi all,

When using shore power does the water pump operate off the battery or the shore power?

Thanks.

Pete

The water pump is 12 volt and runs off the battery. When on shore power the battery is being charged by the converter.

It is 12 volt

Good morning... The pump is 12 volt. It is connected to that system. It runs all the time on 12 volt. When you are on shore power your converter is using that power to make 12 volts. That is then provided to the battery....(ie. battery charging)where the 12 volts is sent to a 12 volt distributing bus. Then thru a fused line to the pump. If you loose that shore power the battery is still the 12 provider and the pump works as is normal.
