Use mild dish soap and water to clean these fixtures.
Do not use harsh chemicals or sprays. A mild solution of vinegar and water works
well to remove hard water spots and stains from the sink or shower fixtures.

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
manufacturer 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 is shipped to the dealer. 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
Replace the water filter cartridge 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.
For more information
Refer to the manufacturer’s owners manual and the label on the water filter
cartridge.

Permanent water tanks may be drained through a valve located near the tank. A
RV with a demand pressure pump system will have low-point drains attached to
the water lines (normally located near the water tank).
These low-point drains will release water in the supply lines by opening the valves
and all faucets. The water heater has its own drain plug. To drain the permanent
fresh water holding tank and supply lines:
1. Open all faucets, including the outside shower faucet (if so
equipped).
2. Open the “exterior fresh tank drain” valve on the permanent
fresh water holding tank This knob turns 45° to open or
close.
3. 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. 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.
