Use mild dish soap and water to clean these fixtures. Do not use harsh chemicals or sprays.
A mild solution of vinegar and water works well to remove hard water spots and stains from
the sink or shower fixtures.
S anitizing the Plumbing System
When to sanitize:
When your RV is new.
At the beginning and end of each season.
When the water system becomes contaminated or every three months of use.
Sanitizing Instructions:
1. Turn water heater power OFF. (both switches: Electric & LP gas) Set the valves to
SANITIZE as indicated on the Utility Center label. (Setting these valves bypasses the
water heater automatically.)
2. Level the recreation vehicle and drain the fresh water system. (see Draining the Fresh
Water System).
3. Close the low point drain valves and the fresh water tank drain valve.
Full System Canister water filter (if so equipped):
Remove the canister; take the
filter out of the canister, then reattach the empty canister.
Bypass the cartridge water filter (if equipped).
Use the clear plastic tube (supplied
with RV) to bypass the water filter.
4. 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 12, 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.

damage plastic materials.
