SECTION 7
PLUMBING SYSTEM
If someone is using the shower, it is
recommended that the fresh water system
NOT BE USED until they are finished.
Maintenance
Read the manufacturer’s operator manual or
label instructions. The tub/shower walls (if
applicable) in your motor home are made of
ABS plastic material. Use a mild detergent
soap and warm water to clean. Contact your
RV 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 in the
utility compartment. 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 water purification
system manufacturer has supplied a plastic
bypass hose with fittings on either end that is
designed to replace the water filter cartridge
when the motor home is being winterized.
This 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
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.
4. 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.

To drain the fresh water holding tank and
supply lines:
1. Open all faucets, including the outside
shower faucet.
2. Open the “fresh
tank drain” valve.
All permanent fresh
water tanks can be
drained by one of two
types of drain valve:
A white plastic drain is
attached to the
exterior wall (open
valve to drain) or a valve located inside
the motor home adjacent to the water tank
(this knob turns 45° to open or close).

fresh water drain
3. Open the “low point drains” by turning,
then pulling the handles up.
As their name indicates,
they will be at the lowest
point of water lines. A label
is 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
motor home. Once the label
is found on the exterior
sidewall, go inside the motor home to find
the corresponding location of the drains.

point drains
4. Turn ON the water pump and allow it to
run as needed.
5. Operate the toilet flush lever until water
stops flowing.
6. Make sure your “water heater bypass”
valve is open.
