PLUMBING AND BATH FEATURES CONTINUED
WATER FILTER
Your Wayfarer motorhome is equipped with a
water filter (Figure 111.1) which must be
removed before disinfecting the fresh water
system.
First remove the water filter and then replace the
cover to allow the sanitizing solution access to
the faucets. As installed, the filter will remove
chlorine, dirt and other matter.
This filter will also eliminate most phenol (or
similar) odors and tastes while delivering
sparkling, taste free water for drinking and
cooking.

Water Filter
The water filter is located in the sanitation compartment on the drivers side of the motorhome
rear most storage compartment. The water filter is not guaranteed to remove the tastes and
odors of iron and sulfur. To remove these impurities, you will need to chlorinate the water.
Replacement filters are available that will filter iron and sulfur. Ask your dealer or RV supply
center about purchasing an iron and sulfur filter.
If you are traveling in an area where the water has higher than normal iron and sulfur content,
then add one tablespoon of chlorine bleach to every 10 gallons of water in your tank - this will
precipitate the iron and/or sulfur so that the filter can remove those impurities.
If you are at a site where your motorhome is connected to a city water supply, you will not be
able to to chlorinate the system because the water flows straight to your faucets and not
through the fresh water tank.
Filters should be changed every six to twelve months depending on the quality and quantity of
the water that is used in your motorhome.
