1. Locate the fresh water
tank drain. Open the
valve and allow the
tank to drain then close
the valve. The water
tank drain valve is
located generally in the
water service center.
2. Place the water heater
bypass valves to the
Bypass position (See
Water Heater Section
4). This ensures the
disinfecting solution
does not enter the water heater. Refer
to the water heater OEM manual for
instructions on flushing the water heater
tank.
3. Located the hot and cold low point
drains. These are generally located
in the water service center. Red is
hot and blue is cold. Remove both
caps then open the kitchen faucet
to release any vacuum. Close the
kitchen faucet and replace caps when
finished draining.
3. Carefully pour the solution into the fresh
water tank using the gravity fill inlet. It
will be necessary to use a funnel.
4. Turn on the water pump. Open each
faucet in turn until a distinct bleach odor
is present. Do not forget the hot water,
tub and shower faucets.
5. Allow the system to stand for four hours.
6. Drain the system and flush with fresh
water repeatedly until no chlorine bleach
smell or taste is left in the water system.

Proper Waste Disposal
Dumping raw sewage from the toilet holding
tank, except at authorized dumping stations,
is universally prohibited. Most National, State
and private parks have either a central dump
facility or campsite hook-up for sewage.
Many modern rest areas along an interstate
now have dump stations available. Woodall’s
Campground Directory, Trailer Life’s RV
Campgrounds and Services Directory, Rand
McNally’s Campground and Trailer Park
Guide, Good Sam Park Director (Good Sam
Club) and other similar publications list
dumping stations. Some major oil companies
also offer dump facilities at select stations.
Do Not Put in Waste Holding Tanks
Do not use strong or full strength
z
detergents to deodorize and disinfect.
Only use odor controlling chemicals
specifically made for holding tanks.
Do not
z
use automotive antifreeze,
ammonia, alcohol or acetone in holding
tanks. These products will dissolve
plastic.
Do not use standard household tissue
z
that remains in one piece. Paper
designed specifically for holding tanks
is available at most RV supply stores.
Facial tissue is thicker, softer and
stronger than rapidly dissolving tissue.
White toilet paper dissolves faster than
colored. To test how well the tissue
dissolves, immerse one tissue square
into a jar of water. Shake the jar five
times to determine how the tissue
disintegrates.
Do not dispose of table scraps or
z
cooking grease into the tanks. They can
clog pipes or damage termination valve
seals.
CAUTION:
Do not dispose of sanitary supplies
or other non-dissolving items into the
system. Facial tissue, wet strength
tissue, paper towels or an excessive
amount of toilet tissue can create
clogging in the holding tank system.
CAUTION:
Do not use any products that contain
petroleum distillate or ammonia
in place of RV odor controlling
chemicals. Petroleum distillate or
ammonia will damage the ABS plastic
holding tanks and seals.
