•
Unscrew the canister from the filter head.
(There will be water inside the canister).
•
Remove the large O-ring seal from the
canister. Check seal for damage, wipe clean,
and set aside. Discard the used filter cartridge.
•
Wash the inside of the canister with dish soap
and warm water using a nonabrasive sponge
or cloth. Rinse thoroughly.
•
Fill canister about 1/3 with clean water and
add a couple of tablespoons of household
bleach, then scrub with a sponge or brush to
disinfect. Rinse thoroughly.
•
Lubricate the O-ring with clean silicone
grease to ensure a proper watertight seal, then
place back into the groove at the bottom of the
canister threads.
NOTE: The O-ring should be replaced every
third cartridge change to ensure proper
sealing. See your dealer for replacement
cartridges and O-rings.
•
Insert a new filter cartridge into the canister,
then hand tighten the canister securely onto
the filter head. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.
•
Turn the Fresh Water Valve to Normal
position. Next open a faucet inside the coach
or the exterior shower, then turn city water on
SLOWLY to allow the canister to fill with
water.
•
Thoroughly flush the filtration system by
running the water for twenty (20) minutes.
•
Check for leaks.
See "Winterizing Procedure" in this section to
prepare the water filtration system for freezing
conditions.
DISINFECTING YOUR FRESH
WATER SYSTEM
To ensure complete disinfection of the potable
water system, it is recommended that the
following procedure be followed on a new
system, one that has not been used for a period of
time, or one that could have become
contaminated.
This procedure is also recommended before
long periods of storage such as over winter.
Coaches with Full-Coach Water
Filtration System (in Water Center)
1. Open a faucet to relieve any waterline
pressure, then remove the filter canister from
the filter base.
2. Remove the filter cartridge from the canister.
Seal it in a clean plastic bag and set aside for
reinstallation after disinfection procedure.
3. Pour 1 1/2 cups of household chlorine bleach
(sodium hypochlorite solution) into the empty
filter canister and screw the canister back onto
the filter base.
WARNING
Chlorine is poisonous. Do not misuse.
Recap bottle and clean all utensils after
use.
This solution will result in a residual chlorine
concentration of approximately 50 ppm in the
water system. (If a 100 ppm concentration is
desired as discussed in step 6, use 3 cups of
household bleach).
4. Connect a hose from a city water source to the
City Water inlet and fill the fresh water tank
completely. The bleach will be drawn into the
tank when the city water is turned on and the
tank fill valve is turned to Tank Fill position.
5. Open each faucet in the coach and run the
water until a distinct odor of chlorine can be
detected in the water discharged. Do not
forget the hot water faucets.
6. Let the system stand at least 4 hours when
disinfecting with 50 ppm residual chlorine.
If a shorter time period is desired, then a 100
ppm chlorine concentration (double the
amount of bleach) should be allowed to stand
in the system for at least 1 hour.
7. Drain the fresh water tank.
