tank, this will result in a 6.7 ppm level of
chlorine, which should kill harmful bacteria
and slime-forming organisms.
•
Chlorine may be removed from drinking
water by the cold water filter at the galley
faucet (if equipped) or by installing an
activated carbon water purifier at the galley
sink cold water line or a separate drinking
water faucet with filter.
•
Superchlorination does not affect city water
usage, only the fresh water tank.
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.
If items are placed into the shower tub before
shower valve vacuum release is complete, they
may become wet.
SHOWER
Shower Drain Pump Switch
Because of the compact nature of this coach,
the shower has a small sump pump to draw water
from the shower floor into the sewage water
holding tank while the shower is in use.
The Shower Drain Pump switch is located
near the shower head. Press the switch to turn the
pump on. A small light on the switch will glow to
indicate when the pump is active.
Turn the pump on as you begin to shower and
leave running to remove the water from the floor
while showering.
Turn the pump off when the water is
completely removed after finishing the shower.
Shower Drain Strainer and Filter
The drain sump area in the shower has a
strainer and filter to keep debris from entering the
lines and damaging the pump. The strainer and
filter should be removed periodically for
cleaning.
The strainer screws into the floor of the sump
area. If the strainer is difficult to remove,
additional grip can be gained by wrapping a wash
cloth around the top of the strainer.
