Use only fresh, potable water in the storage tank. To insure that the tank is clean, drain after each trip. Sanitize the
tank when new, whenever contamination is suspected, or whenever it has not been used for a long period of time.
QUICK FILL WATER SUPPLY
Some coaches come equipped with a Quick Fill water supply (FIG 13A)
connection for supplying local water and filling the water holding tank.
With this system, to fill the water tank connect the water supply hose to
the female water hose fitting located inside the waste holding tank
compartment. Select “fill” on the blue Quick Fill lever, which may be
located on the opposite side of the coach, and turn on the water supply.
Watch the inside monitor until the water tank reads full. Do not leave the
Vehicle unattended while filling the fresh water tank. To select local
water supply, simply turn the blue Quick Fill selector lever to the
“local supply” position.

SANITIZING THE WATER TANK
As approved by the U.S. Public Health Service
To assure complete disinfection of your potable water system, it is recommended that the following procedures be
followed on a new system, one that has not been used for a period of time, or one that may have become
contaminated. This procedure is also recommended before long periods of storage such as over the winter.
1. Prepare a chlorine solution using 1 gallon of water and ¼ cup of household bleach (sodium hypochlorite solution).
With tank empty, pour chlorine solution into the tank. use 1 gallon solution for each 15 gallons of tank capacity. This
procedure will result in a residual chlorine concentration of 50 PPM in the water system. If a 100 PPM concentration is
required as discussed in item 3, use ½ cup of household bleach with 1 gallon of water to prepare the chlorine solution.
One gallon of the solution should be used for each 15 gallons of tank capacity.
2. Complete filling of tank with potable water. Open each faucet and run the water until a distinct odor of chlorine can
be detected in the water discharged. Do not forget the hot water taps.
3. Allow the system to stand for at least 4 hours when disinfecting with 50 PPM residual chlorine. If a shorted time
period is desired, then a 100 PPM chlorine concentration should be permitted to stand in the system for at least 1
hours.
4. Drain and flush with potable water.
WATER PUMP
The RV water pump is a 12-volt DC appliance that
is activated by a switch in the kitchen area or on the
monitor panel. The switch may be left ON while camping.
This is called a demand system. (FIG. 14)
