Section 8: Plumbing System
61
Faucets
The bathroom, kitchen and outside shower faucets operate much the same way as the faucets
in your home. Make sure there is sufficient water available and the 12-volt water pump is
turned ON before operating.
NOTE: There may be air in the water plumbing lines which needs to be bled
out before a steady stream of water comes from the faucet.
NOTE: The valve blade seal is a part of the toilet that is subject to wear. De-
pending on the extent and manner of servicing, after a certain period the seal
will lose quality and must be replaced.
Winter Use
You can continue to use the cassette toilet in cold weather, as long as the toilet is situated in
a heated location. If not, there is a risk of freezing. In this case we advise that the toilet is
drained by following the instructions under Storage. For environmental reasons the use of
antifreeze is not advised.
Use in Warm Weather and At Varying Heights
Height differences while travelling or temperature changes are not a problem as long as the
waste tank is located in the toilet. The automatic pressure release vent keeps the pressure in
the tank the same as outside.
Refer to the manufacturer’s guide for additional information.
Bathroom Tub / Shower
Keep the water heater and holding tank capacities in mind when using the fresh water sys-
tem. The used water will drain into the grey water holding tank.
Be sure the water heater is ON and had sufficient time to heat the water.
If dry camping, be sure your 12-volt water pump is ON.
Unlike your home, the recreational vehicle does not contain a water pressure balance valve.
If someone is using the shower, it is recommended that the fresh water system
NOT BE
USED
until they are finished.
The shower faucet may include a vacuum breaker for the shower. There are two purposes
for this breaker:
To prevent siphoning water through the hose from another fixture.
To prevent water from being retained in the hose.
The showerhead DOES NOT have a complete shut-off valve (the complete shut-off is at the
faucet). The showerhead may drip slightly in the OFF position after use; this is normal and
does not indicate a leak or defect.
Maintenance
Refer the manufacturer’s user guide or label instructions for detailed cleaning information.
The tub/shower walls are made of ABS plastic material. Use a mild detergent soap and warm
water to clean. Do not use gritty or abrasive particle soaps or scouring compound to clean
ABS plastic. Avoid using “Citrus” or biodegradable cleaners which contain “D-Limonene.”
They will damage plastic materials.
Water temperatures over 125°F (49°C) can cause severe burns instantly there-
fore, be careful when using hot water.
Always test the water temperature
before showering or washing.
