connect in-line between the supply hose
and the city water input on the coach.
A passage or hatch is provided in the bottom
of the compartment to route the hose through so
you can close the compartment door during use.
We recommend obtaining a hose elbow to
avoid kinking the city water hose when the com-
partment door is closed.
To disconnect from the external source:
1. Turn the external source off.
2. Open a faucet inside the coach to relieve line
pressure.
3. Disconnect the hose from the coach.
4. Stick your finger inside the connection and
gently press the backflow valve inward to
drain any water left in the line.
5. Replace the protective plug back into the
threaded collar on the connection.
WATER PURIFIER
(FILTER) SYSTEM
The water purifier system uses a flow-
through activated carbon filter that removes
chlorine and other impurities, resulting in clean,
taste-free and odorless drinking water.
The water supply to the optional ice maker (if
equipped) also passes through this filter to pro-
vide clear, filtered water for ice cubes.
Replacing the water filter cartridge:
Replace the filter cartridge when water flow
from the purifier faucet is too slow for conve-
nience.
·
Place a container beneath the filter to catch
any remaining water during removal.
·
Raise the valve handle and turn the colored
ring fully clockwise.
·
Twist the filter cartridge counterclockwise
about a quarter-turn and pull it down and out
of the filter head.
·
Raise the valve handle and turn the colored
ring fully clockwise.
·
Insert a new water filter cartridge up into the
filter head as far as possible and turn it clock-
wise a quarter turn.
·
Turn colored ring fully counterclockwise to
lock the filter cartridge in position between
the head and colored ring.
·
Lower valve handle to lock colored ring in
place.
See “Winterizing the Water Purifier System”
in Section 10.
SHOWER HOSE VACUUM BREAKER
After using the shower, you may notice water
dripping from the shower faucet assembly. The
dripping results when vacuum in the shower hose
(after closing the shower faucet) slowly releases
and allows water remaining in the hose to drain
down. This is a normal function of the shower
valve assembly and is not a leak or defect.
The International Association of Plumbing
and Mechanical Officials Standard TSC 21-85
(PAR. 4.3) states:
“Shower heads which incorporate shutoff
valves, shall have a minimum “drip rate” of one
(1) quart in thirty (30) minutes.”
The label shown below is attached on or near
the faucet to explain the operation of the vacuum

If items are placed into the shower
tub before shower valve vacuum
release is complete, they may become
wet.
