Title: Water bay heat

Is there a way to turn off the water bay thermocouple for storage? It seems the t-couple is sending a request to the Hurricane calling for heat...and I can't get the 12v recirc pump to shut off. The main switch for the hurricane is off, the hot water heater is off, the comfort control panel (coach t-stat) is off. So, I turned off the 12v main switch at the front door - the pump continued to run! Then I turned off the 110v breaker for the Hurricane - the pump still ran! Then I shut off both switches on the Hurricane (main switch and the service switch) and the pump finally stopped.

Thanks for any help!

PS: I found online a "tech manual" that states that the water bay t-couple is enabled when the comfort control switch is turned on. If that is the case, why is mine still calling for heat? Weird.

On my 06 Magna, the wet bay is heated by a finned tube which has hydronic fluid flowing thru it from the Hydro Hot. The is no hot air from HydroHot. There is a control knob in the upper right of wet bay (under a velcro cover) that you can adjust to tell it when to open the valve to flow hydronic heat thru the finned tube. Just turn that control knob down and it won't call for hot hydronic fluid. Mine is offset about 10F, so watch out for that. For example, I have mine set at 50F and it keeps the bay about 40F in ambient temps of about 25F.

There is air blown over the fins to heat the bay.

The water bay heat control in my '02 intrigue is located adjacent to the water pump, just behind an access panel within the water bay.  I had the same issue when in storage but by turning down the heat control knob by the water pump it stopped the Hurricane unit from coming on.  John Coleman'02 Intrigue 11467  From: Country-Coach-Owners@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Country-Coach-Owners@yahoogroups.com] Sent: Saturday, January 6, 2018 4:52 AMTo: Country-Coach-Owners@yahoogroups.comSubject: [Country-Coach-Owners] Water bay heat    Is there a way to turn off the water bay thermocouple for storage?
