PLUMBING SYSTEMS
5. When you are finished, shut the water
faucets OFF.
Unlike your home, the RV does not contain a
water pressure balance valve. If someone is
using the shower, it is recommended that the
fresh water system NOT BE USED until he or
she is finished.
Maintenance
Read the OEM operator’s manual. The tub
and shower walls (if applicable) in your RV
are made of ABS plastic material. Use a mild
detergent soap and warm water to clean
(these cleaning instructions are similar to
those recommended for fiberglass tubs and
shower walls). Contact your dealer for repair
or replacement.
DO NOT use gritty or abrasive particle soaps
or scouring compound to clean ABS plastic.
Avoid using “Citrus” or biodegradable
cleaners which contain “D-Limonene.” They
will damage plastic materials.

The water purification system is located under
the kitchen sink. If the water supply has not
been used for some time, allow the water to
flow for several minutes to flush the system.
When not in use, the water filter cartridge
should be stored out of freezing temperatures.
RV antifreeze will damage the water filter
cartridge. The OEM has supplied a clear
plastic bypass hose with fittings on either end
to replace the water filter cartridge when the
RV is being winterized. This clear plastic
bypass hose is re-usable; store it when it is
not in use.
Each new RV is winterized with RV antifreeze
before it leaves Jayco, Inc. To use the water
purification system the clear plastic bypass
hose must be removed and the water filter
cartridge installed.
Replacing the water filter cartridge
Follow the instructions on the water cartridge
filter. Replace the water filter cartridge when
water flow from the kitchen faucet is too slow
for convenience, or at least once a year.
1. Drain the fresh water system.
2. Place a container beneath the water
cartridge filter to catch any spillage.
3. Unscrew the fittings at the top and bottom
of the water filter cartridge. Pull the water
filter cartridge down and out of the fittings.
Insert the new water filter cartridge and
tighten the fittings securely by hand. Dispose
of the used water cartridge filter.

Open all faucets, including the outside shower
faucet (if so equipped).
1. Open the “exterior fresh
tank drain” valve on the
permanent fresh water
holding tank (if so
equipped). This knob turns
45° to open (or close.
2. Open the “low point
drains” by turning, then pulling the handles
up. As their name indicates, the valves will
be at the lowest point of water lines. A
label may be placed on the outside of the
RV to indicate where the drains are
located. The drains will typically need to
be opened from inside the trailer. Once
the label is found on the outside of the
trailer, go inside to find the corresponding
location of the drains.

3. Turn ON the water pump
and allow it to run as
needed.
4. If so equipped, operate
the toilet flush lever until
water stops flowing.
5.
Relieve the water
pressure using the
water heater P&T
valve BEFORE removing the water heater
drain plug. Otherwise, if there is any water
pressure present the water will spray out
of the opening when the drain plug is
removed.

water system, reverse these steps and, if so
equipped, dump the grey and black water
