NOTE: Filters should be replaced at the beginning of each camping
season or if they have come into contact with contaminated water.
NOTE: When not in use, the water filter cartridge should be stored
out of freezing temperatures. RV antifreeze will damage the water
filter cartridge.
Normal Setting
This setting allows you to use the water system when dry camping. The water pump
circulates water from the fresh water tank to all the fixtures.
NOTE: If needed, sanitize the water system prior to travel.
1. If equipped with a tank (storage) water heater, set the bypass valves to the NORMAL
position (supply line valves ON, middle mixer valve OFF). The tankless water heater
has no bypass valves.
2. Place the utility center valves in the “NORMAL” position (Fig A).
3. Turn the water pump ON (make sure you have sufficient 12-volt power).
4. Water will be pumped from the fresh water tank to all faucets.
5. The tank (storage) water heater will fill first, followed by the supply lines and faucets.
6. Enter the motor home and open the cold water supply faucets to bleed air from the
water lines. When the water lines are nearly full, you may experience some “air
pockets.” Allow these to escape before closing the cold water supply faucets.
7. Turn the appropriate (12-volt GAS or 120-volt ELECTRIC) storage water heater power
switch ON. For a tankless water heater (if so equipped) turn the water heater power
switch ON (switch is located outside the RV at the water heater panel) Water will be
heated on demand.
Sanitize Tank
This setting is used to sanitize the fresh water tank. When the fresh water tank drain and the
low point drains are closed, a siphon is created in the water lines allowing sanitizer to be
pulled into the fresh water tank from an external container (see Sanitization section).
Sanitize / Winterize Lines
This setting is typically used for drawing RV antifreeze into the water lines of the motor
home. When the fresh water tank drain and the low point drains are closed, a siphon is
created in the water lines allowing antifreeze to be pulled into the water lines. This setting
will not allow antifreeze into the fresh water tank (see Winterization section).

Depending on the model, your recreation vehicle may have a canister style water purification
system. If the water supply has not been used for some time, allow the water to flow for
several minutes to flush the system.
