Section 8: Plumbing System
rification system manufacturer has supplied a (reusable) plastic bypass hose with fittings on
either end that is designed to replace the water filter cartridge when the motor home is being
winterized or sanitized. Store the hose when it is not in use.
Do not allow water to freeze in the filter.
Remove the cartridge before using antifreeze to winterize or chlorine solution to
sanitize the system.
Flush thoroughly before it is put back into service after winterizing or sanitizing
or if the system has not been used for some time.
For best results replace the filter every 6 months or as needed.
