Section 8: Plumbing System
55
Normal pump maintenance consists of checking and cleaning of the strainer, normal sanitiz-
ing and winterizing and occasionally checking all plumbing hardware and fittings for tight
-
ness. Lack of sanitizing can lead to premature pump failure and poor performance over time.
Scale build-up on the diaphragm and valves, can cause low flow and leak back (occasional
pump cycling with no faucets open or tank filling up when hooked up to city water).
For additional information on the care and operation of the pump, read the safety and operat-
ing information in the pump manufacturer’s owner’s manual.
Water Pump Switch
Most water pump switches illuminate when the water pump is activated. Typical switch
locations are in the back of the unit or on the monitor panel, or the switch may be art of a
touchscreen system (if so equipped). When the water pump switch is ON the pump runs until
45 lbs. of pressure has been achieved. The red light will stay on.
Water Purification System
The canister filter is the primary filter used for the complete water system. If the water sup
-
ply has not been used for some time, allow the water to flow for several minutes to flush the
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 housing 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 petro-
leum jelly.
7.
Replace the O-ring in the groove, making sure it is properly seated.
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).
