Water Purification System - Jayco 2016 Jay Series Owner's Manual

SECTION 8 - PLUMBING SYSTEM
□
To prevent siphoning water through the hose from another fixture.
□
To prevent water from being retained in the hose.
The showerhead DOES NOT have a complete shut-off valve (the complete
shut-off is at the faucet). The showerhead may drip slightly in the OFF position
after use; this is normal and does not indicate a leak or defect. There may be air in
the plumbing lines that will need to be bled out before a steady stream of water
comes from the faucet.
The shower facilities in your RV function similar to those in your home. Prepare
the shower curtains (if so equipped) to prevent water from spilling onto the floor.
Keep the water heater and holding tank capacities in mind when using the fresh
water system. The used water will drain into the black water holding tank under
the shower. (Refer to the Toilet section)
Be sure the water heater is ON and has had sufficient time to heat the water.
1. Turn the water pump switch ON.
2. Adjust the hot and cold faucets to the desired temperature before showering.
3. To conserve water while showering, wet down and turn the water OFF while
you use soap, then rinse.
4. When you are finished, shut the water faucets OFF. Turn water pump OFF.
Unlike your home, the RV does not contain a water pressure balance valve. If
someone is using the shower, it is recommended that the fresh water system NOT
BE USED until they are finished.
Maintenance:
Read the manufacturer's operator manual. The shower walls (if applicable) in your
RV are made of ABS plastic material.
Use a mild detergent soap and warm water to clean (these cleaning instructions
are similar to those recommended for fiberglass tubs and shower walls). Contact
your RV dealer for repair or replacement.
DO NOT use gritty or abrasive particle soaps or scouring compound to clean ABS
plastic.
Avoid using "Citrus" or biodegradable cleaners which contain "D-Limonene." They
will damage plastic materials.
H & S
ARDWARE INK OR
Use mild dish soap and water to clean these fixtures.
Do not use harsh chemicals or sprays. A mild solution of vinegar and water works
well to remove hard water spots and stains from the sink or shower fixtures.
Water Purification System (If So Equipped)
Depending on your RV model, it may have a cartridge style water filter under the
sink. The manufacturer has supplied a clear plastic bypass hose with fittings on
either end to replace the water filter cartridge when the RV is being winterized.
This clear plastic bypass hose is re-usable; store it when it is not in use.
