2. Open the “exterior fresh
tank drain” valve on the
permanent fresh water
holding tank (if so
equipped). This knob
turns 45° to open or
close.
3. Open the “low point
drains” by turning, then
pulling the handles up.
As their name indicates, the valves will be
at the lowest point of water lines. A label
may be placed on the outside of the park
trailer to indicate where the drains are
located. The drains will
typically need to be
opened from inside the
trailer. Once the label
is found on the outside
of the trailer, go inside
to find the
corresponding location
of the drains.
4. Turn ON the water pump and allow it to
run as needed.
5. If so equipped, operate the toilet flush
lever until water stops flowing.
6. sure your water heater bypass valve(s)
are open.
7. Drain the water heater.
Atwood gas/electric water heater only
:
Relieve the water pressure using the P&T
valve BEFORE removing the water heater
drain plug. Otherwise, if there is any water
pressure present the water will spray out
of the opening when the drain plug is
removed.
Rheem electric water heater
: Drain the
water heater by (1) closing the water
heater bypass mixer valve, (2) opening
the water heater bypass cold water valve,
(3) Open a hot water line (i.e., kitchen
faucet), (4) Open the relief valve on water
heater and (5) opening the low point
drains.
When you are finished draining the fresh
water system, reverse these steps and, if so
equipped, dump the grey and black water
holding tanks at an appropriate facility or
according to local public codes.

Potable water systems require periodic
maintenance to deliver a consistent flow of
fresh water. For your personal safety, the
plumbing system should be sanitized when
your park trailer is new, at the beginning and
end of each season and when the water
system becomes contaminated (or
approximately every three months of use).
How to sanitize with a water pump (if so
equipped)
1. Level the park trailer and drain the fresh
water system.
2. Close the drain valves.
3. 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 as
discussed in step 9, 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.
4. Pour the chlorine solution into the Gravity
Fill.

Failure to sanitize the potable water
system could result in death or serious
illness.
Chlorine is poisonous. Always recap the
household bleach bottle and clean utensils
and containers after use.
