Review on Lippert Components Floë Drain-Down System: A Game-Changer for 5th Wheel RVs, Travel Trailers, and Motorhomes by Michael Tegan

Revainrating 2 out of 5

I wanted to like it, but.

Instructions are patchy. Although there are color images, they are small and dark. The concept art of the system installation is missing. The instructions must be read several times to understand the meaning. After everything was finally installed, although the Floe system was working and the lines were venting, the water pump pressure became unsatisfactory. It turns out that the check valve in the tee reduces the air/water flow. I heard the water pump and system struggling. When I removed the tee and put the water intake back in its original place, everything is fine. I called Lippert for assistance. To their credit, I was immediately put in touch with an English speaking support agent. That was good news. Bad - he didn't know the problem and initially thought of a defective four-way tee. I said I had already ordered a refill from Revain and tried the t-shirt in the new refill but there was no difference. He concluded that the problem must be with the water pump. But as I said, the water pump works fine without the tee, so I've come to the conclusion that it's a design issue with the flow and the tee. I don't feel like going down the route of swapping out a fully working pump to get Floe working. So back to Revain. :(

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
