CENTRAL WATER FILTRATION
SYSTEM
-If Equipped
The central water filtration system uses a flow-
through, activated carbon filter that removes
chlorine and sediments, resulting in clean,
odorless and taste-free water for drinking,
cooking, and personal care.
Replacing the Central Water
Filtration Cartridge:
Replace the filter cartridge after 1,000 gallons
of usage or sooner if water flow from faucets is
noticeably reduced.
•
Turn off the water supply and relieve water
line pressure by opening a faucet.
•
Remove the filter canister from the filter head.
Use the filter wrench supplied to loosen the
filter canister. (see following photos)
•
Unscrew the canister from the filter head.
(There will be water inside the canister.)
Remove the large O-ring seal from the
canister. Check seal for damage, wipe clean
and set aside. Discard the used filter cartridge.
•
Wash the inside of the canister with dish soap
and warm water using a nonabrasive sponge
or cloth. Rinse thoroughly.
•
Fill canister about 1/3 with clean water and
add a couple of tablespoons of household
bleach, then scrub with a sponge or brush to
disinfect. Rinse thoroughly.
•
Lubricate the O-ring with clean silicone
grease to ensure a proper watertight seal, then
place back into the groove at the bottom of the
canister threads. The O-ring should be
replaced every third cartridge change to insure
proper sealing.
•
Insert a new filter cartridge into the canister,
then hand tighten the canister securely onto
the filter head. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.
•
Turn the Fresh Water Valve to Normal
position, turn a faucet on inside the coach,
then turn city water on slowly to allow the
canister to fill with water. Thoroughly flush
the system by running the water for twenty
(20) minutes.
•
Check for leaks. Finished.
