Greetings again from a learning Hi-Lo newbie. My question today is about the fresh water system on my 1977 17'. I understand the holding tank and the pluming system but I'm a little confused on the filling. I am used to having a separate fill area to fill the tank and a hookup for a hose if you have city water. On my Hi-Lo it appears to be all one connection. My question is, when hooked up to city water does the tank fill until the system is pressurized? There is a hookup for an air pump to pressurize the system when running off the tank. Unfortunately the pump is missing so I am looking for a replacement or maybe replacing with an on demand pump. I have attached a photo of my fill connection. It has the hookup for city water and what looks like blue on top can be unscrewed but I can't get it off and afraid to break it if it's not supposed to come off. Also on either side of the city hookup are two "connections" one is a standard air connection like a valve stem on a tire. The other is what appears to be a metal thing-a-majig. Can someone shed some light on how everything is supposed to work and would you recommend replacing the air pump or convert to an on demand water pump.
Thank you
