Troubleshooting
If the water pump cycles after closing the
faucets, drain valves and inlet valves, a leak
may be present. At this time check for leaks
around fittings, valves, filter and connections
of the hot and cold water system. If problems
continue, take the motorhome to an authorized
dealer for repair.
Disinfecting Fresh Water
Disinfecting the water system with
household bleach (superchlorination) protects
against bacteriological or viral contamination
from common water sources.
Disinfect the fresh water system:
If the motorhome is new.
If the motorhome has been in storage.
Every three months during use.
NOTE:
Use the gravity fill to perform this
task. Remove cap from the gravity
fill. Add the solution. When finished,
secure the gravity fill cap.
Remove and discard water filter cartridge
(See”Water Filter). Re-install filter bowl
without cartridge.
Prepare a household chlorine bleach
solution of 1 gallon water and ¼ cup of
chlorine bleach. Use 1 gallon of solution
for every 15 gallons of tank capacity.
This mixture puts a 50 ppm (parts per
million) residual in the water system and
acts as a quick-kill dosage for harmful
bacteria, viruses and slime-forming
organisms. Concentrations higher than 50
ppm may damage the water lines and/or
tanks.
Set water heater bypass valves to Bypass.
This ensures that none of the prepared
disinfecting solution enters the water
heater. Refer to the water heater OEM
instructions on flushing the water heater.
Drain the fresh water tank. Close the
drain and pour the concentrated solution
into the fresh water tank using the gravity
fill.
Top off the tank with fresh water.
Turn the water pump on.
Individually open each faucet, hot and
cold valves, and run the water until there
is a distinct chlorine bleach odor.
Do not
forget the shower faucets.
Turn off all faucets and allow the system
to stand for four hours.
Drain the system and flush with fresh
water with fresh water repeatedly until
the water system no longer smells or
tastes like chlorine bleach.
Install the new water filter cartridge.
Set water heater bypass valves to Normal
Flow position.
INFORMATION:
Household bleach is 5.25% Sodium
Hypochlorite. Higher concentration
will increase PPM ratio.
faUcet ScreenS
Fresh water sources vary by location. Build
up of lime deposits, or debris in the faucet
screen, will restrict or plug the flow of water
from the faucets. Should the flow of water
reduce, the faucet filter screen may be clogged.
The bathroom faucet screen is located
on the outlet side of the faucet and held
in place with a threaded collar.
The kitchen faucet has two screens, one
located where the hose attaches to the
faucet head, the other where the hose
attatches to the faucet manifold. The
faucet hose must be removed to access
both screens.
Clean screen using a small soft brush
and de-liming solution.
Reinstall screen and check water flow.
