PLUMBING SYSTEMS
water to prepare the chlorine solution. One
gallon of the solution should be used for
each 15 gallons of tank capacity.
2. Complete filling of tank with fresh water.
Open each faucet and run the water until a
distinct odor of chlorine can be detected in
the water discharged. Do not forget the hot
water taps.
3. Allow the system to stand at least 4 hours
when disinfecting with 50 ppm residual
chlorine. If a shorter time period is desired,
then a 100 ppm chlorine concentration
should be permitted to stand in the system
for at least 1 hour.
4. Drain and flush with fresh water.
EXTERNAL WATER SUPPLY
(“City Water”)
To connect to an external source:
1. Turn the demand pump switch to off.
2. Attach a hose from the external water source
to the city water connection in the utility
compartment on the left side of your vehicle.
3. Turn on the external water source.
When connected to an outside source of
water, the water bypasses the demand pump and
storage tank and supplies pressure directly to
individual faucets and toilet. A check valve built
into the pump prevents water from entering the
pump and filling the storage tank.
NOTE: Because city water pressure varies from
location to location, we recommend
using an in-line
water pressure
regulato
r to prevent damage to any com-
ponents, connections and seals in your
fresh water system. We recommend a
regulator that controls water pressure at
40 psi maximum
.
A water pressure regulator may be ob-
tained from any well stocked RV dealer-
ship retail center and some retail
discount centers. These devices simply
connect in-line between the supply hose
and the city water input on the coach.
To disconnect from the external source:
1. Turn the external source off.
2. Open a faucet inside the vehicle to relieve
line pressure.
3. Disconnect the hose from the coach.
4. Stick your finger up inside the connection
and gently press the backflow valve upward
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.
WARNING
Chlorine is poisonous - recap bottle
and clean utensils after use.
Never use automotive type antifreeze
in your potable water system as it is
poisonous.
