Fresh water sources will vary by location. Build up of lime
deposits or debris on the faucet screens will restrict or plug the flow
of water coming from the faucets. All faucet screens should be
checked and cleaned every two weeks of use.
• Faucet screens are normally located on the outlet side of the
faucet and held in place with a threaded collar. If your
motorhome has a "Moen" faucet you will need to remove the
faucet head and remove the screen from the handle.
• Remove screen from faucet.
• Clean screen using a small soft brush and a de-liming
solution.
• Reinstall screen and check water flow.
Water system problems and leaks usually fall into two categories: system
problems and problems caused by improper use or lack of attention. These problems
result from improper winterizing, poor maintenance, road vibration and campsite water
pressure variations. Check all plumbing connections for leaks at least once a year. If the
water pump runs when a faucet is not open, check for a water leak. If a water
line or fitting is leaking, tighten the fitting. Have the leak repaired before
returning the supply line to service. In addition, opening the city water/tank fill valve
with the water pump off will remove all water line pressure within the motorhome.
NOTE: A small water leak can cause severe water damage. Shut
off the water supply and have the leak repaired.
