  • Filling fresh water tank with Nautilus, Does it filter the water?

    Getting ready to sanitize the water system on our Solitude. Does the Nautilus system filter the water going into the fresh tank; or only filter it as it is pumped out of the fresh tank into the water lines etc.?

    As far as I know there is no true filter in the system - unless GD is now installing them (As I found out they are on your unit). I use one of those that goes inline. https://www.amazon.com/Camco-TastePU...06031700&psc=1

    At the pump is a derbies screen that I check yearly. I still find tank shavings etc in it.

    On edit I see it has a Whole House Water Filtration System. so it depends on how it is plumbed in. Learned something new. Can you post a picture of it - might help

      Changing Lanes (YouTubers) have a video on this subject.

          Can’t post photo, not at campground until Sat. Filter is mounted on left sidewall of water management compartment.

            On our Momentum the hose from the fresh water connection goes directly to the water filter and then back to valving behind the Nautilus panel so I remove the filter cartridge before sanitizing. Removing the filter cartridge and reinstalling the empty housing is fairly easy, just some tight quarters to deal with. Make sure that you have a clean container available for the cartridge, or a replacement cartridge ready to install when finished with the the sanitizing.

              Our Momentum is the same way. A few years ago, this was NOT the case and there complaints about it. Now everything goes through the filter and then on to everything else.

                Thanks for Momentum filter info. I do know the fresh water connection on ours is on the face of the Nautilus panel; and two hoses come out to the filter (filter In & Out).
