Replacing the secondary water filter cartridge

1. Turn off the water supply to the filter. Turn the black valve (next to the cartridge filter) OFF. The water pump should be OFF.
2. Place a cloth under the filter housing to catch any spillage.
3. Relieve pressure on the line (by depressing the drinking water faucet or the paddle on the refrigerator door) before removing the filter.
4. Unscrew the two fittings from each end of the old filter or the bypass hose.
5. Remove the bypass hose or filter cartridge (dispose of the filter properly).
6. Install a new filter screwing it on the two fittings in the utility center.
7. Turn on the water supply black valve and the water pump to check for leaks.
8. Make sure if you are using the pump, the Water Pump Backflow Valve is turned ON.

Draining the Fresh Water System
To drain the freshwater holding tank and supply lines:

1. Make sure the “city water / fresh tank fill valve” is in the City Fill position.
2. Make sure the “winterize intake valves” are set to NORMAL
3. Make sure your “water heater bypass” valve is set to NORMAL.
4. Open the “fresh tank drain”.
5. Open the “low point drains”.
6. Turn on the outside shower faucet.
7. Turn ON the Water Pump Backflow Valve if using the water pump. It should be OFF when using pressurized City Water.
8. Turn ON the water pump and allow it to run as needed.
9. Open all kitchen and bath faucets.
10. Operate the toilet flush lever until the water stops flowing.
    When you are finished draining the freshwater system, reverse steps 4-9 and dump the grey and black water holding tanks.

Exterior Docking Center

The exterior utility center allows you to access the plumbing system functions at one central location.

It contains the following:

1. Canister water filter
2. Outside shower & quick disconnect hose
3. City Water / Tank Fill Valve
4. Pump Switch
5. Macerator ON/OFF switch
6. Black Tank Flush inlet (See Black Tank Flush)
7. Fresh Water Connection inlet
8. Macerator hose and dump connector

Fresh Water Connections
There are three types of direct freshwater connections located at the exterior utility center:

1. Fresh water connection inlet
2. Black tank flush (see Black Tank Flush)
3. Clear hose (sanitize/winterize)

The utility center also has a water shutoff valve located up behind the utility center panel.

1. Hot water line drain valve (left side of utility center)
2. Cold water line drain valve (left side of utility center)
3. Siphon valve with clear hose attached for sanitizing and winterizing (left side of utility center)
4. Water supply valve to canister water filter (upper right of utility center)
5. Drain on floor of utility center
6. Macerator Bypass dump valve (center of utility center) (See Black and Gray Tank Drain section)
7. Water pump and strainer (left wall of utility center)
8. Water Pump Backflow Valve: Located beside the pump on the left wall of the utility center. Must be turned ON when using the pump to circulate water through the water lines of the RV. Must be OFF when using pressurized City Water to circulate water through the water lines. If it is ON when using City Water, it can backfill the fresh water tank through the water pump causing it to overflow. If you are using pressurized water to fill the tank, this valve has no effect ON or OFF.
9. Macerator Emergency Cutoff valve (center of utility center) (See Black and Gray Tank Drain section)

Sanitizing the Plumbing System When to sanitize:

1. When your motorhome is new.
2. At the beginning and end of each season.
3. When the water system becomes contaminated or every three months of use.

How to sanitize:

1. Level the motorhome and drain the fresh water system (see Draining the Fresh Water System).
2. Close all low point drains, including the drains for hot/cold water lines at the utility center (Fig 2).
3. Turn water supply OFF to canister water filter (Fig 3). The valve is located behind the utility center panel. Remove the filter cartridge from the water purification system canister (Fig 1), re-attach the empty canister. See Water Purification System for addi-tional information on removing the filters. Turn the water supply valve (Fig 3) ON. Chlorine should be kept out of the water filter.
   NOTE: Filter should be replaced at the beginning of the camping season or if they have come into contact with contaminated water.
4. Prepare a chlorine solution using 1/4 cup of household bleach (sodium hypochlorite solution) to one gallon (3.785 liters) of water in a container. Prepare one gallon of so-lution for every 15 gallons of tank capacity. This will result in a residual chlorine concentration of 50 ppm in the water system. If a 100 ppm concentration is required, use ½ cup of household bleach with one gallon of water to prepare the chlorine solution. One gallon of the solution should be used for each 15 gallons of tank capacity.
5. To sanitize the fresh water tank: Open the water tank compartment of the RV. Remove the cap from the tank water fill and pour the sanitizer solution into the fresh water tank. Replace the cap.
6. Fill the fresh water tank using one of the following methods:
   Method 1: Remove the cap and fill the tank using a water hose. Monitor the water level using the water level guide.
   Method 2: Attach the fresh water hose to a pressurized water source. Connect the other end of the hose to the City Water Inlet. Turn the Tank Fill / City Water valve on the utility center to TANK FILL (horizontal). Turn on the water until the tank is full.
7. When the water tank is full:
   Method 1: Remove the water hose and replace the cap on the water tank.
   Method 2: Shut off pressurized water source, disconnect water source, and remove the hose from the City Water inlet.
8. Turn off power to the water heater. Switches are located in a bathroom cabinet. Bypass the water heater. Sanitizer must be kept out of the water heater. Set the bypass valves to the BYPASS position (two supply valves OFF, middle valve ON). The 3 valves are located near the water heater.
9. Turn Water Pump Backflow Valve ON (when using the pump).
10. Turn the pump switch ON.
11. Open the hot and cold water line faucets one at a time (kitchen, lavatory, shower and outside shower) until water begins to flow continuously and a chlorine smell is notice-able. Close the hot and cold water faucets.
12. Turn the pump OFF.
13. Let the solution remain in the system for at least four hours when disinfecting with 50 PPM residual chlorine. If a shorter time period is desired, then a 100 PPM chlorine concentration should be permitted to sit in the system for at least one hour. For com-plete fresh water tank sanitization, driving your motorhome for a short distance will allow the sanitizing solution to splash around all sides of the tank.
14. After the required sanitization period, drain the chlorine solution from the fresh water system (see Draining the Fresh Water System).
15. Re-fill the fresh water tank. Verify that the city water valve is in the horizontal (fill tank) position (Fig. 1). Refer to Step 6 above to fill the fresh water tank.
16. Turn water source OFF. Set the city water valve back to the vertical (city water) posi-tion. Water source should attach to the City Water inlet. Turn the water source ON. Water Pump Backflow Valve should be turned OFF. Open all faucets (including outside shower) to flush all the water lines with fresh water (pump is not used for this). Water heater bypass should still be set to BYPASS (to prevent water from entering the water heater).
17. Drain the fresh water system again (see Draining the Fresh Water System). Re-fill the fresh water tank with potable water. Turn the water heater bypass valves to the NOR-MAL position (hot & cold supply valves ON, middle valve OFF) to allow water into the Aqua-Hot water heater. Detach the outside shower hose.

NOTE: If a chlorine taste lingers in the water, flush the water system with a solution consisting of one-quart vinegar to five gallons of clean water.
