Everpure QL1-WPS Owner's Manual

The water treatment system for all recreational vehicles equipped with a motor powered pump
Your Everpure Water Treatment System provides you with
the equipment and instructions you need to disinfect and
filter your drinking water, making it great tasting,
colorless and odorless. It will add to the pleasure, comfort
and safety of mobile living whether parked and hooked to
a water supply or operating on a self-contained basis.
However, it cannot be used with a hand or foot pump or
with water from a pond or other surface water source.

Servicing Your Water Filter

Your Everpure water filter may have been installed in your
vehicle without its cartridge. You can easily install the unit's
cartridge by following the simple instructions on the cartridge
wrapper. You will know a fresh replacement cartridge is needed
when the flow of water from your faucet becomes too slow for
convenience. How often will this occur? That depends on how
cloudy your unfiltered water is and how much water you use.
Each time water passes through the Everpure water filter,
particles are trapped and held in the tiny pores of the MICRO-
PURE ® medium coating on the filtering element inside the
cartridge. (MICRO-PURE ® medium is a unique filtering substance
consisting of a proprietary blend of activated carbon and other
materials.) As the cartridge actively reduces the impurities from
the water, its microscopically small pores slowly fill up... and
the amount of water flowing from the cartridge gradually
lessens. For the ADC Full-Timer, replace every 750 gallons; for
the ADC Part-Timer*, replace every 200 gallons or when the
flow of water from the water filter becomes too slow for
convenience. If the cartridge is not changed, eventually the flow
will stop entirely. Even when a decreasing flow does not
demand it, at least one cartridge change a year is recommended
for reliable performance from your Everpure Water Treatment
System.
Use of Superchlorination for
Maximum Protection
Chlorine is the world's most accepted and widely used
disinfectant.
Superchlorination is a disinfection method which provides a
chlorine residual of 3.0 to 5.0 ppm (parts per million). Although
the chlorine will impart a taste and odor in the water, your
Everpure water filter will reduce the chlorine taste and odor to
greater than 95%*.

Using Your Vehicle's Water System
For Cold Water Use Only
The Everpure Water Treatment System provides all that is
needed except chlorine, which must be purchased fresh locally.
Simply proceed with the following instructions:

To Superchlorinate Your Water

Superchlorinate with household laundry bleach (sodium
hypochlorite). You may not have thought of this familiar product
(Clorox ® , Purex ® , etc.) as a water disinfectant, but it is a
common form of sodium hypochlorite (chlorine). Fill the Everpure
chlorine disinfectant dispenser with fresh liquid bleach and add
1/6 ounce (5 ml) or 1 teaspoonful to each 10 gallons (38 l) of
water held in your fresh water storage tank. The most effective
method for putting chlorine into the water system is to first con-
nect your hose to your vehicle and then put the bleach into the
other end of the hose just before connecting it to the park fau-
cet or other hydrant. Use chlorine every time you connect to a
water source to keep the hose sanitary and to protect your
water system from becoming contaminated via the water
source**.
The chlorine color test (described in the following section) tells
you whether or not you have added enough chlorine to your
storage water to provide a safety-indicating excess.
You Must Test for Safety-Indicating
Chlorine Residual
A residual of 3.0 to 5.0 parts per million chlorine, must be
present after a 7 minute standing time. You can check for this
necessary chlorine residual with the following simple, easy test.
The Everpure RV Water Treatment System provides easy to use
test strips for determining the chlorine residual in your system's
water. Take one strip and place under running water from any
cold water outlet not served by your Everpure water filter Leave
the strip in the stream for approximately 10 seconds. Remove
strip and compare the color of the free chlorine square with the
color blocks on the side of the bottle labeled free chlorine. For
maximum results your water color should be deeper than the 4
ppm color block. If it is not, add more chlorine to the water.
Remember, your Everpure water filter reduces the chlorine after
it has done its disinfecting job, so you won't taste or smell
*Not Performance Tested or Certified by NSF
**Utilizing this process continuously may slightly decrease the
capacity of the filter cartridge.
