The water pump will not shut-off or runs when the faucet is closed:
• Check to see if the fresh water tank fill valve is completely closed.
• Check output side (pressure) plumbing for leaks and inspect for a
leaky toilet or valves.
• Look for loose drive assembly or pump head screws.
• Are the valves or the internal check valve held open by debris or is
the rubber swollen?
The water pump is noisy or rough in operation:
• Check for plumbing which may have vibrated loose.
• Does the mounting surface multiply noise (flexible)?
• Check for mounting feet that are loose or compressed too tight.
• Look for loose pump head to motor screws.
The water pump is rapid cycling:
• Look for restrictive plumbing/flow restrictors in the faucets or shower heads.
The motorhome is shipped with a diverter hose in place of the
in-line water filter. To initially install a water filter or to replace a water
filter, use the procedures as follows:
• Locate the water filter diverter hose in the galley sink area.
• Remove the top and bottom fittings from either the hose or
filter.
• Connect top and bottom fittings to the filter to purify the
system.
• Store diverter hose for use when winterizing the water system.
A fresh replacement cartridge is needed when the flow of water
from the faucet becomes slow. The life of the filter depends upon
incoming water conditions and water consumption.
As water passes through the water filter, dirt particles are trapped in
the tiny pores of the micro-pure coating on the filtering element inside
the cartridge. As the cartridge removes the impurities from the water,
microscopic pores slowly permeate and the amount of water flowing
from the cartridge gradually decreases.
When the flow of water from the water filter becomes too slow for
convenience it requires servicing. If the cartridge is not changed the
flow will eventually stop. Even when a decreasing water flow does not
demand the cartridge be replaced, it is recommended the filter be
replaced at least once a year for continued reliable performance from
the purification system.
