SHOWER HOSE VACUUM
BREAKER
After using the shower, you may notice water
dripping from the shower faucet assembly. The
dripping results when vacuum in the shower hose
(after closing the shower faucet) slowly releases
and allows water remaining in the hose to drain
down. This is a normal function of the shower
valve assembly and is not a leak or defect.
If items are placed into the shower tub before
shower valve vacuum release is complete, they
may become wet.

SHOWER

Shower Drain Pump Switch
Because of the compact nature of this coach,
the shower has a small sump pump to draw water
from the shower floor into the sewage water
holding tank while the shower is in use.
The Shower Drain Pump switch is located
near the shower head. Press the switch to turn the
pump on. A small light on the switch will glow to
indicate when the pump is active.

The drain sump area in the shower has a
strainer to keep large debris from entering the
lines and damaging the pump. The strainer
should be removed periodically for cleaning.

The strainer screws into the floor of the sump
area. If the strainer is difficult to remove,
additional grip can be gained by wrapping a wash
cloth around the top of the strainer.
Rinse off the debris, soap or water mineral
deposits and screw back into floor.
Shower Pump Filter Screen
The shower pump (located beneath galley
cabinet access panel) also has a filter screen that
should be inspected periodically and cleaned if
necessary.
