WATER PURIFIER
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.
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 then twist the filter
cartridge counterclockwise about a quarter-
turn and pull it down and out of the filter
head.
·
Insert a new water filter cartridge up into the
filter head as far as possible and turn it clock-
wise a quarter-turn.
·
Lower valve handle to lock filter 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
breaker assembly.
EXTERIOR SHOWER
The exterior auxiliary shower feature allows
you to do things such as rinse off sand or salt after
a swim, rinse off muddy boots, or bathe your pet
outside the coach. It is located in the utility sys-
tem compartment.
Water Filter Assembly -
Below Galley Sink
If items are placed into the shower
tub before shower valve vacuum
release is complete, they may become
wet.
For your protection, this faucet is equipped
with a vacuum breaker (back flow preventer)
to prevent contamination of your potable wa-
ter supply. The water in the hand held shower
hose will drain through this vacuum breaker
when the faucet is turned off. This is not a
leak. This drainage is inherent in the design of
the vacuum breaker, and is evidence that it is
functioning properly.
