Edit: just checked the Nautilus manual and it said you absolutely right about the check valve being the issue. Sorry for adding tonthe confusion. You learn something every day.2018 Reflection 303rls

Even if you turn the city water 'off', there is still pressure contained in the trailer water system to which that black handled valve is exposed because the check valve at the inlet prevents backflow in the event the city water is off or disconnected. So unless you depressurize the system by opening a faucet, pressure is still present at the panel valves.Ted

Yes, I use the shower valve to relieve pressure. Since I was mistaken about the warning, is there any reason to worry about switching the nautilus valves under pressure or have I been wasting effort worrying about it? I thought I remembered warnings about it being better to relieve pressure when manipulating the manifold.Forum moderators are not GD employees--we are volunteers and owners presumably just like yourself.

Thanks for the info guys. I now know what not to press and where it is and its best to relieve city water pressure when changing settings on the Nautilus panel.Jim & Dot
