Section 8: Plumbing System
Decalcification
BASIC MODEL
Lime scale occurs as a result of precipitation from “hard” water. The appliance must be
decalcified regularly depending on water hardness and hot water consumption. Decalcifica
-
tion must be done through your RV dealer. Specialized equipment is required and cannot be
easily accomplished by the owner.
COMFORT and COMFORT PLUS MODELS
Models with the interior rotary control dial have a “CLEAN” setting available. These mod-
els also include a built in water consumption meter that will light the yellow LED (on the
rotary dial) when decalcification is required. This LED will go out briefly every 7 seconds
indicating decalcification is required.
Refer to the water heater manufacturer’s instructions included in your warranty packet for
additional safety and operating instructions.
Outside Shower (if so equipped)
A handheld shower assembly with both hot and cold water may be included for use outside
of your recreational vehicle.It may be located in a separate outside shower compartment or
at the utility center (if so equipped).
1.
Be sure the water heater is ON and had sufficient time to heat the water.
2.
If dry camping, be sure the 12-volt water pump is ON.
3.
Remove the handheld shower from its holder.
4.
Turn ON the hot and cold faucet knobs, and adjust the water temperature as desired.
5.
To activate the handheld shower turn ON the sprayer head attachment (some models).
To turn off the water
always
close the hot/cold control (faucet) knobs. The lever on the
shower head will not completely stop the flow of water (this is intentional to allow for drain
-
ing). After the water has been allowed to drain from the shower head, return it to the outside
shower storage. Any remaining water in the shower hose will drip or run out; this is not a
leak but performs as intended. If you are dry camping, turn the water pump OFF. Turning
off the water with the shower head lever can also create a condition where the hot and cold
water will mix through the outside shower faucet, thereby reducing the temperature of the
hot water and give the appearance that the hot water heater is not working properly.
NOTE: The shower head may be removed from the hose so that it will drain
faster. If you remove the shower head, be sure to reassemble it prior to stor-
age.
NOTE: When putting the shower assembly back into the storage compart-
ment, make sure the hose is not pinched or the shower head is positioned in a
way it can be damaged.
Faucets
The bathroom, kitchen and outside shower faucets operate much the same way as the faucets
in your home. Make sure there is sufficient water available and the 12-volt water pump is
turned ON before operating.
NOTE: There may be air in the water plumbing lines which needs to be bled
out before a steady stream of water comes from the faucet.
Bathroom Tub / Shower
Keep the water heater and holding tank capacities in mind when using the fresh water sys-
tem. The used water will drain into the grey water holding tank.
Be sure the water heater is ON and had sufficient time to heat the water.
