SECTION 7 –
PLUMBING
Replacing the Water Filter
Cartridge
Replace the filter cartridge when water flow
from the faucet is too slow for convenience.
•
Twist the filter cartridge counterclockwise (to
the left) about one-quarter turn, then pull it
down and out of the filter socket.
(A spring-
loaded valve inside the filter socket will block
water from flowing out of the socket when the
filter cartridge is removed.)
•
Insert a new filter cartridge up into the filter
socket as far as possible and twist it clockwise
(to the right) one-quarter turn until it stops.
•
Purge a new filter cartridge before using for
drinking. Run a few gallons of water through
the filter and discard the water (or use for
watering plants) to avoid ingesting carbon
dust or particles that may have been present in
the new filter cartridge.
•
See Winterization Procedure at the end of this
section. Also see filter manufacturer’s
information in your InfoCase for further
instructions or precautions.
•
When removing the coach from storage,
always disinfect and flush the water system
thoroughly before installing a new filter.
FULL-COACH WATER
FILTRATION SYSTEM
–If Equipped
The full-coach water filtration system is
connected to the cold water lines throughout the
coach. It uses a flow-through filter that removes
chlorine, cloudiness and sediments, resulting in
clear, odorless and taste-free clean water for
drinking, cooking, and personal care.
Replacing the Full-Coach 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)
