Water Pump; Water Filter - Fleetwood Southwind 1999 Owner's Manual

PIVMbiNC; SYSTEMS
The on-board fresh water system is pressurized by a self-
priming, 12-volt DC pump. The pump operates automatically
when the pump power switch is ON and a faucet is opened.
When the faucets are closed, the pump shuts off. A 7-112
amp fuse at the converter panel protects the pump circuit. It
can run dry for extended periods without damage. See
Electrical Systems chapter. See illustration for pump
location.
Turn the pump master switch ON to pressurize the system.
When a faucet is opened after the initial filling of the tank,
the water may sputter for a few seconds. This is normal and
is not cause for concern. The water flow will become steady
when all air is bled from the water lines.
Dirt, mineral scale, and organic matter are filtered out of the
fresh water system by an in-line water filter on the inlet side
of the water pump. If you suspect a clogged filter, it is easily
removed and cleaned.
Inspect the filter after running the first full tank of water.
Clean and inspect monthly thereafter. The filter is located in
the utility compartment behind the service panel.
1. Loosen the clamp at the inlet end of the filter.
2. Pull the water line off the filter.

4. Turn each end of the filter and pull apart.
5. Flush out and clean screen.
