Section 8: Plumbing System
Lingering Chlorine Taste: If a chlorine taste lingers in the water, flush the water system
with a solution consisting of one-quart vinegar to five gallons of clean water. Re-flush as
necessary. The vinegar solution may damage the water heater or the water filter, so both
must be bypassed again before performing this operation.
Follow the steps outlined in Draining the Fresh Water System with one exception, do not
drain the water heater. Do not remove the water heater drain plug.
For the
full system canister
water filter: remove the canister, take out the filter, then re-
attach the empty canister.
After draining the system
1. Water heater power should still be OFF (both electric & LP
Gas on standard storage water heater). Single switch inside
the RV for the Truma AquaGo tankless water heater.
2. Put the vinegar solution into the fresh water tank; set the
valves to the SANITIZE setting.
Attach a hose to the city water fill inlet. Put the other end of the hose in a container with
the vinegar solution. Turn the pump ON.
The solution will be drawn into the fresh water tank (the water heater will be bypassed
automatically). When the container is empty, turn pump OFF, and disconnect hose
from utility panel.
To aid in siphoning, place the container approximately (2) feet off the ground. The
drain valves must be closed.
3. Fill the fresh water tank full of clean (potable) water. Use water from either a pressur-
ized source, or from a container (as detailed below).
a). Filling from a pressurized source: Set the valves to
the POWER FILL TANK setting. Connect a
non-toxic drinking hose to the city water fill inlet.
Connect the other end of the hose to the pressurized
water source. Turn on the water source. When tank
is full, turn off the water source, disconnect the hose from the water source
first , then disconnect from the utility panel. DO NOT OVERFILL WATER
TANK!
b). Syphon filling from a water container : Set the
valves to the SANITIZE setting. Insert a hose into
the city water fill inlet, place other end of the hose
in a container of water. Turn pump ON to draw
water into the tank. After the tank is full, turn the
pump OFF. Remove the hose and the container. To
aid in siphoning place the container approximately (2) feet off the ground. The
drain valves must be closed.
DO NOT OVERFILL WATER TANK!
4. Run water through all faucets (hot and cold, includ-
ing outside shower) until chlorine smell is gone. Set the
valves to the DRY CAMPING setting. Turn the pump ON
to send water through the lines.
5. Close all faucets including outside shower. Turn pump
OFF.
6. Drain the system again, but do not drain the water heater (water heater power still OFF).
7. Close low point drains and fresh water tank drain.
