Section 8: Plumbing System
Filters should be replaced at the beginning of each camping season or if they have come
into contact with contaminated water.
When not in use, the water filter cartridge should
be stored out of freezing temperatures. RV antifreeze will damage the water filter cartridge.
Filter locations will vary by model. They are typically located in a compartment behind the
utility center (if so equipped).
To Replace Canister Filter Cartridge
1.
Turn off water supply using two valves located on the water lines on
each side of the canister. Water pump should be OFF.
2.
Place drip pan below filter housing to catch any spillage.
3.
Press the red button on top of the filter housing to release pressure.
4.
Using a spanner wrench, rotate the filter housing. Unscrew the hous
-
ing completely, dump water out and remove the filter (dispose of the
old filter properly).
5.
Clean the inside of the filter housing with mild detergent. Thoroughly
rinse and wipe clean.
6.
Remove the O-ring from the groove in the housing and wipe clean.
Coat with petroleum jelly.
7.
Replace the O-ring in the groove, making sure it is properly seated.
8.
Install the new filter cartridge.
9.
Replace the canister housing (hand tighten is normally sufficient).
10. Turn on the water supply, turn the pump ON, open a faucet and check for leaks. Turn
the pump OFF afterwards.
NOTE: There is
no bypass
feature on a canister style water filter. The water
filter
must
be removed before sanitizing or winterizing the RV.
Each new recreational vehicle is winterized with RV antifreeze before it is shipped to the
dealer. To use the water purification system, full system canister water lines need to be
flushed of antifreeze and then the filter installed in the canister before use.
Refer to the manufacturer’s owner’s manual and the label on the water filter cartridge for
further information.
Filter Housing
Do not allow water in the canister housing to freeze.
Remove the filter before using anti-freeze to winterize the system or
chlorine solution to sanitize the system.
Flush canister housing thoroughly before it is put back into service after
winterizing or sanitizing.
For best results replace filter every 6-12 months.
Do not use carbon cartridges where water is microbiologically unsafe or
of unknown quality.
Maximum operating pressure is 125 psi (8.75 bar).
Maximum water temperature is 125° F (52° C).
Draining The Fresh Water System
Water tanks may be drained through a valve located near the tank. A recreational vehicle
with a demand pressure pump system will have low-point drains attached to the water lines
(normally located near the water tank).
