Recieved the following from HWH on the white powder (DS bay door #1)

'THIS IS JUST CALCIUM FROM EVAPORATING WATER- THIS FILTER IS DESIGNED TO DO THIS- DISPOSE OF THE TRASH BY SIMPLY DUMPING IT'

Stan; I was wondering how the calcium gets in the water? Since this water is condensation from moisture in the air, I would suspect that the calcium story just doesn't make sense. I cleaned out all the white powder from the glass bowl (in the bay under the drivers seat) and within a few weeks the bowl had more white powder in it.
My coach is less than 2 years old and less than 10,000 miles on it.
I'm still wondering if the white powder is a symptom of some problem.

Just FYI for other interested readers... The air dryer under the drivers seat in bay #1 is a different air dryer used for the braking system. The last time we had this "discussion", it mutated into a discussion of the braking air dryer system. I'm wondering about the air dryer on the pump in bay #1.

Any ideas?

Regards,

Bob Kumza

Right, this is the dryer for the HWH leveling system. But even HWH - who listed the assembly and valve on their system - told me that they had no replacement cartridge listed and their computer said to simply clean out the white residue. The fellow I spoke with said it appeared from comments (I'm guessing on their notes on the computer) that people who didn't clean the bowl periodically had to order the new valve - but this is just a lot of interpretatiuon as I understood it - not gospel.
