Drainage; Water Purification System; To Replace The Filter - Jayco 2004 Talon ZX Owner's Manual

Drainage

All permanent fresh water tanks can be drained by one of two types of drain
valve:
1. A white plastic drain is attached to the frame. Open the valve and allow
it to drain. (Fig. 4-6)
2. A valve is located inside of the sport utility trailer adjacent to the water
tank. The knob turns 45° to open and close.
To drain the water supply lines, locate the "low-point" drains as shown in Fig. 4-7. These valves are
placed near the floor and may be located under cabinets, dinettes, sofas, beds, or in storage areas. As
their name indicates, they will be at the lowest point of water lines. A label is placed on the outside of
the sport utility trailer to indicate where the drains are located. The drains will typically need to be
opened from inside the trailer. Once the label is found on the outside of the trailer, go inside to find
the corresponding location of the drains.
TO DRAIN SYSTEM:
1. Open all faucets including optional exterior shower.
2. Open fresh water tank drain.
3. Open water heater drain. (Consult water heater owner's manual
for details.)
4. Open all (2 to 4 depending on the model of your unit) low-point
drains.
5. Open toilet valve, hold or block if need be.
6. To empty pump, start and allow to run 15-20 seconds.

WATER PURIFICATION SYSTEM

A water purification may be installed as an option on your trailer. This system is equipped with a
long-life cartridge to effectively reduce chlorine, taste, odor, sediment, organic chemicals and
inhibit bacteria growth. If the water system has not been used for some time, allow water to flow for
several minutes to flush the system. When the system is not in use, store the water filter cartridge in
the mounting bracket located near the water system, or when necessary, out of freezing
temperatures.
RV antifreeze will damage the water filter cartridge. The water purification system manufacturer
has supplied a clear plastic bypass hose with fittings on either end which is designed to replace the
water filter when the trailer is winterized. The hose should be stored when the filter is in use and kept
available to reuse.
The filter should be replaced when water flow is reduce causing an inconvenience, or at least one
time each year.

TO REPLACE THE FILTER:

1. Drain the water system.
2. Remove the cartridge by disconnecting the fitting at either end of the filter and pulling it out
of the fittings. It may be helpful to have a container available under the filter to catch any
water left in the lines or filter.
3. If winterizing the unit, install the manufacturer supplied bypass hose and store the filter as is
appropriate.
4. If replacing the filter, install the new filter and tighten the fittings at either end.
I
CAUTION: Do not allow the filter to freeze or come in contact with RV antifreeze when the
trailer water system is winterized.
