WATER SYSTEMS — 6
FAUCET SCREENS
Fresh water sources will vary by location.
Build up of lime deposits, or debris on the faucet
screen, will restrict or plug the ow of water
coming from the faucets. Should the ow of
water reduce, the lter screen in the faucet head
may be clogged. All faucet screens should be
checked and cleaned every two weeks of use.
Faucet screens ar normally located on the
outlet side of the faucet and held in place
with a threaded collar.
Remove screen from faucet.
Clean screen using a small soft brush and
de-liming solution.
Reinstall screen and check water ow.
LIQUID SOAP DISPENSER
The liquid soap dispenser can be used with
any type of liquid soap or lotion. The liner of the
bottle will not corrode or discolor the contents
of the dispenser. Use a soft cloth and blot dry
to clean. Abrasive cleansers or polishes can
damage the nish on the dispenser.
Lift dispenser pump
out of bottle.
Use funnel to ll bottle
with liquid soap or
lotion.
WASTE WATER SYSTEMS
Proper Waste Disposal
Dumping raw sewage from toilet holding
tanks, except at authorized dumping stations,
is universally prohibited. Most National, State
and private parks have either a central dump
facility or campsite hook-up for sewage. Many
modern rest areas along the interstate now have
dump stations available. Woodall’s Campground
Directory, Trailer Life’s RV Campgrounds
and Services Directory, Rand McNally’s
Campground and Trailer Park Guide, Good
Sam Park Director (Good Sam Club) and other
similar publications list dumping stations. Some
major oil companies offer dump facilities at
selected stations also.
What Not to Put in Waste Holding Tanks
DO NOT use strong or full strength
detergents to deodorize and disinfect.
Use odor control chemicals made
especially for holding tanks.
Automotive antifreeze, ammonia, alcohol
or acetone in holding tanks will dissolve
plastic.
DO NOT dispose of table scraps or
cooking grease into the tanks. They can
clog pipes or damage tremination valve
seals.
Facial tissue is thicker, softer and
stronger than a rapidly dissolving tissue.
White toilet paper dissolves faster than
colored. To test tissue dissolving ability,
immerse one tissue square into a jar
of water. Shake the jar ve times to
determine how the tissue disintegrates.
DO NOT use any type of tissue that
remains in one piece. Paper designed
specically for holding tanks is available
at most RV supply stores.
NOTE
Never dispose of sanitary supplies or
other non-dissolving items into the
system. Facial tissue, wet strength tissue,
paper towels or an excessive amount of
toilet tissue can create clogging in the
holding tank system.
CAUTION
DO NOT use any products that contain
petroleum distillate or ammonia in
place of RV odor controlling chemicals.
Petroleum distillate or ammonia will
damage the ABS plastic holding tanks
and seals.
What to Put in Holding Tanks
Grey Water Tank:
The grey water waste tank stores the sink,
shower and clothes washer (if equipped) drain
water. A reduced mixture of chemicals may help
to control odor in the grey tank.
