7.3 Fresh Water System Maintenance
Information supplied with water system compo-
nents by the equipment manufacturers is included
with this manual. Refer to this information for
additional operation and service data.
Routine Maintenance
The following items should be done routinely to
maintain your fresh water system:
• Periodically remove and clean the water
strainer located near the intake side of the
fresh water pump. To clean the strainer, make
sure the Fresh Water switch is o. Rotate
the strainer bowl counterclockwise to release
it. Remove and clean the screen with fresh
water. Lubricate the O-ring lightly with Teon
or silicone grease and reinstall the strainer
bowl.
• Remove the lter screen from the shower head
and eliminate any accumulation of debris. A
build up of debris can cause the pump to cycle
excessively.
• Periodically spray the pump and metal
components with a metal protectant.
• The batteries must be properly maintained and
charged. Operating the pressure pump from a
battery with a low charge could lead to pump
failure.
• Add a commercially available potable water
conditioner to the water tank to keep it fresh.
Notice:
The fresh water system must be properly
winterized prior to winter lay-up. Refer to
the section on winterizing for more informa-
tion.
