Section 8: Plumbing System
Sanitizing the Plumbing System
When to sanitize:
When your motor home is new.
At the beginning and end of each season.
When the water system becomes contaminated or every three months of use.
How to sanitize:
1. Level the motor home and drain the fresh water system (see
Draining the Fresh Water
System).
2. Close all low point drains, including the drains for hot/cold water lines at the utility
center (Fig 2).
3.
Turn water supply OFF to canister water filter (Fig 3). The valve is located behind the
utility center panel. Remove the filter cartridge from the water purification system
canister (Fig 1), re-attach the empty canister. See
Water Purification System
for addi-
tional information on removing the filters. Turn the water supply valve (Fig 3) ON.
Chlorine should be kept out of 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 solu-
tion for every 15 gallons of tank capacity. This will result in a residual chlorine con-
centration 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.
5. To sanitize the fresh water tank: Open the water tank
compartment of the RV. Remove the cap from the tank
water fill and pour the sanitizer solution into the fresh
water tank. Replace the cap.
6. Fill the fresh water tank using one of the following methods:
Method 1:
Remove the cap and fill the tank using a water hose. Monitor the water
level using the water level guide.
Method 2:
Attach the fresh water hose to a pressurized water source. Connect the
other end of the hose to the City Water Inlet. Turn the Tank Fill / City Water valve on
the utility center to TANK FILL (horizontal). Turn on the water until the tank is full.
NOTE:
Filter should be replaced at the beginning of the camping season
or if they have come into contact with contaminated water.
