SECTION 7 –
PLUMBING
Replacing the Cold Water Filter
Cartridge
You should replace the filter cartridge every
season and when water flow from the faucet is
too slow for convenience. The cartridge must be
replaced at least every 12 months.
•
Place a container beneath the filter to catch
any water remaining in the waterlines during
filter removal.
•
Twist the filter cartridge “counter-clockwise”
about one-quarter turn, then pull it down and
out of the filter socket.
•
Insert a new water filter cartridge up into the
filter socket as far as possible and twist it
“clockwise” one-quarter turn until it stops.
•
Before using the water for drinking, run a few
gallons of water through the filter and discard
water to avoid consuming carbon dust or
particles that may have been present in the
new filter cartridge.
Diverter Plug
•
Install the diverter plug into the filter socket
for winterization or if water must be used
while the filter is removed from the socket.
The diverter plug is installed in the same
manner as the water filter.
•
See “Winterization Procedure” at the end of
this section for further information.
•
When removing the coach from storage,
always disinfect and flush the water system
thoroughly before installing a new filter. See
“Disinfecting Your Fresh Water System”
elsewhere in this section for more
information.
NOTE: After the system has been thoroughly
flushed, remove the diverter plug and
store for future use.
