Section 8: Plumbing System

off the water pump, unscrew the clear cap, remove the re-useable metal strainer, clear any
debris, then reinstall.
Normal pump maintenance consists of checking and cleaning of the strainer, normal sani-
tizing and winterizing and occasionally checking all plumbing hardware and fittings for
tightness. 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 (oc
-
casional 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 Filter
This filter is typically located at the utility center. RV antifreeze and sanitizer will
damage the water filter cartridge. The water purification system manufacturer has
supplied a (reusable) plastic bypass hose with fittings on either end that is designed
to replace the water filter cartridge when the recreation vehicle is being winterized
or sanitized. Store the hose when it is not in use.
Do not allow water to freeze in the filter.
Remove the cartridge before using antifreeze to winterize or chlorine so-
lution to sanitize the system.
Flush thoroughly before placing it back into service after winterizing or
sanitizing or if the system has not been used for some time.
For best results replace the filter every 6 months or as needed.
Replacing the secondary water filter cartridge
1.
Turn off water supply to the filter. Turn the black valve (next to the cartridge filter)
OFF. Water pump should be OFF.
2.
Place a cloth under the filter housing to catch any spillage.
3.
Relieve pressure on the line before removing the filter.
4.
Unscrew the two fittings from each end of the old filter or the bypass hose.
5.
Remove bypass hose or filter cartridge (dispose of filter properly).
6.
Install new filter screwing it on the two fittings in the utility center.
7.
Turn on the water supply black valve and the water pump to check for leaks.
8.
Make sure if you are using the pump, the Water Pump Backflow Valve is turned ON.
For more information refer to the water purification manufacturer’s information in
the Owner’s Warranty Packet.
Draining The Fresh Water System
A recreational vehicle with a demand pressure pump system will have low-point drains at-
tached to the water lines. These low-point drains will release water in the supply lines by
opening the valves and all faucets. These valves are typically located inside the side door.
Location may vary by model. There is a valve to drain hot water, cold water and the fresh
water tank.
To drain the permanent fresh water supply lines:
1.
Open all faucets.
