Hi All,

I have been doing my water fill a bit differently for quite some time now and never remember to mention my method! We are preparing for a trip to the Keys next week and want good conditioned & filtered water to start with! I start by shutting all interior faucets and exterior drain valves except the far rear valve! Connect the hose and fill till water and air flush from the valve! It is now purged and free of dirt and sediment! Open the sink faucets one at a time and experience a steady stream with no mess to wipe down! It prevents trash from migrating to the screens that cause loss of pressure and blockage!
