4.
Run water through all faucets (hot and cold, including outside shower and outside
kitchen) until chlorine smell is gone. Turn all faucets and outside shower off, turn pump
OFF.
5.
Drain the fresh water system again. If the RV has the full system canister water filter,
remove the canister, reinstall the filter, and reattach the canister.

Refill the fresh water tank with fresh water again and when water heater is full of water,
turn the water heater power ON. Water heater is full if you open a
HOT

and water comes out in a steady stream.
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. Remove the
canister water filter and bypass the water heater.
Set water heater
bypass lever to BYPASS
(pointing up).
Follow the steps outlined in
Draining the Fresh Water System

full system canister
water filter: remove the canister, take out
the filter, then re-attach the empty canister.
