Section 8: Plumbing System
12. After the recommended amount of sanitizing solution is in the tank make sure:
The water tank is full of fresh water
The cartridge water filter (if so equipped) is bypassed
or the filter is removed from the full system canister
water filter (if so equipped)
Power to water heater is turned OFF (both electric
and LP gas).
Water heater is bypassed (red handle
sideways).
13. Set the valves to:
White handle pointing down
Blue handle pointing left
Green handle pointing up
Red handle pointing right
14.
Turn the pump ON and sanitized water will flow into the water lines from the tank
when a fixture is opened.
15.
Open all hot water faucets one by one until water begins to flow continuously and a
chlorine smell is noticeable. Include outside shower faucets (if so equipped). Close hot
water faucets. Repeat process with the cold water faucets.
16. Turn OFF the water pump.
17. Let the solution remain in the tank and lines for at least four hours when disinfecting
with 50-PPM residual chlorine, and for at least one hour if using a 100-PPM chlorine
concentration.
NOTE: To thoroughly sanitize the fresh water tank, the unit should be driven
around for a period of time allowing the solution to splash the sides and top
of the tank.
18. After the required period, drain the chlorine solution from the fresh water system. Fill
the fresh water tank full of clean (potable) water. Use water from either a pressurized
source, or siphon fill from a container (refer to the Sanitize tank fill setting).
19. Power to water heater should be OFF (electric and LP Gas switches on standard stor-
age water heater). Water heater is still bypassed. Single switch is inside the RV for
the tankless water heater. When the fresh water tank is full, set the valves to the DRY
CAMPING setting. Turn the pump ON to send water through the lines.
20. Run water through all faucets (hot and cold, including outside shower) until chlorine
smell is gone. Turn faucets and outside shower off, turn pump OFF.
21.
Drain the fresh water system again. If the RV has the full system canister water filter,
remove the canister, reinstall the filter, and remove the bypass hose and reconnect the
cartridge water filter.
22.
Refill the fresh water tank with fresh water again and when water heater is full of water,
turn the water heater power ON.
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.
