The brains of the system are the control board on the front of the showers
The control board houses the pump, valves and power supply and distro that make the system work. In the picture to the left you can see all the water sources labled
- Shower 1 from Valve to Shower head
- Shower 2 from Valve to Shower head
- Sink Cold Water from Valve to Sink & Water Heater In
- Sink Hot Water from Water Heater to Sink
- Input – Water in from white plastic valve under IBC totes in 20′ trailer
A key compenent of the Control board is Power
120 Volt Power
This is plug power, you must not unplug this to plug in your own shit. There are plugs in the bar for that. This powers all they fresh and grey water pumps that power the system. You can “lock” this box with a zip tie.
12 Volt Distribution Block
This is the distribution block that runs power to all the valves and FRID or compture system that powers the system. There is 12V + and a 12V ground alway on in the box. This powers the system and if there is no system brains you have to jumper 12+ to the valve controls to keep them open and control the flow with the manual valve handles.
Making the connection, Fresh water out and Grey water in. The Pup Tailer.
Water to the System
3/4″ Pex Type A – run it with a 3/4″ push sharkbite from this red pipe to the shower water inlet valve which is a 3/4″ sharkbite. Yes this valve is cracked and will crack from time to time winter over winter. You should always have an extra and PVC glue on the work trip. 2″ PVC Valve. Take 100′ just in case you have to run extended distance.
Water from Control Panel to Sink
1/2″ Pex Type A – Run from pipe 3 and 4 in photo to the fixture. Fixture has sharkbite fittings as do the valves on the contorl board. Take 100′ of 1/2″ with you and place the shower next to the kitchen. You need 8 Mill black UV resistant plastic to place under the shower trailer and 30′ of linear boad feet of 2×4 for the shower encatchment.
Rebilding the Valves
ASCO Redhad Valves
From time to time debree gets caught in these valves and they stop functioning correctly. The major symptoms are either running all the time or not cycling correctly (water always flowing through the valve or not flowing at all). First unplug the 12 Volt power supply. Next you have to remove the four silver screws you can see on the right (they are on the left as well) and remove any crap caught up in the rubber membrain. DO NOT lose the SPRING that is in between the two pieces.
After cleaning the membrain and washing any debree out, re-assemble the peiece back together and plug the power back in it should start cycling correctly.
