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.
Your motor home may be equipped with a utility center. The sanitizing process is different
for units with a utility center than it is for units without one. The following sections will
address both applications.
Preparing to sanitize
with and without a utility center
Turn water heater power OFF (storage style-both electric and LP gas switches; tank less
water heater turn power switch OFF).
Level the RV and drain the fresh water system (see
Draining the Fresh Water System
).
Close the low point drain valves and the fresh water tank drain valve.
Remove the water filter from the full system canister in the basement area of the motor
home (see
Water Purification
section). Re-attach the empty canister and turn the water
supply valves at the filter ON.
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.
How to sanitize (with utility center)
1.
Bypass the (storage) tank water heater: hot and cold supply valves OFF, middle (mixer)
valve ON.
Sanitizer should be kept out of the water heater
. The tankless water
heater does not have bypass valves.
2.
Attach the short hose supplied with your recreation vehicle to the fresh water connection
inlet (on the utility center or on the outside of the motor home). Place the other end of
NOTE:
Fresh water tank sizes vary by model; contact your dealer
or customer service for your specific tank size.
NOTE:
For complete sanitizing of the fresh water tank, the unit
should be driven around for a brief time allowing the solution to
splash the sides and top of the tank.
