When to sanitize

How to sanitize with a water pump
1. Level the RV and drain the fresh water system.
(see Draining the fresh water system ).
2. Close the drain valves.
3. Prepare a chlorine solution using 1/4 cup of household bleach (sodium
hypochlorite solution) to one gallon (3.785 liters) of water in a container.
Prepare one gallon of solution for every 15 gallons of tank capacity. This will
result in a residual chlorine concentration of 50 ppm in the water system. If a
100-ppm concentration is required as discussed in step 10, use ½ cup of
household bleach with one gallon of water to prepare the chlorine solution.
One gallon of the solution should be used for each 15 gallons of tank
capacity.
4. Pour the chlorine solution in at the gravity fill connection (if so equipped).

NOTE: If a gravity fill water source is not available and you will be filling
the tank from a container, see the Outside Convenience Center section for
filling the tank. The chlorine solution can be siphoned in from a container.
5. Continue filling the fresh water tank with potable water until it is full.
6. Turn the water pump ON.
