rication system manufacturer has supplied a (reusable) plastic bypass hose with ttings on
either end that is designed to replace the water lter cartridge when the motor home is being
winterized or sanitized. Store the hose when it is not in use.
 Do not allow water to freeze in the lter.
 Remove the cartridge before using antifreeze to winterize or chlorine solution to
sanitize the system.
 Flush thoroughly before it is put back into service after winterizing or sanitizing
or if the system has not been used for some time.
 For best results replace the lter every 6 months or as needed.
