5.
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, 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.

Attach a short section of garden hose to the SANITIZE/
WINTERIZE inlet at the utility center.
DO NOT use your
fresh water hose for sanitizing.

If there is no pressurized water source available, fresh water can be siphoned into the
water tank from an external container (bucket). Fresh water hose should be connected
to the SANITIZE inlet, other end of the hose placed in the bucket of water. Colored
valves should still be in SANITIZE position. Turn the pump ON and water will be
siphoned into the tank.
DO NOT OVERFILL THE TANK!
Use the LED indicators
on the tank monitor at the Command Center to monitor water level in fresh water tank.
