Water heater switches (if so equipped):
The water heater switches are typically located on the monitor panel. Refer to the Monitor
Panel
section for function details.
When to sanitize
When your RV is new.
At the beginning and end of each season.
When the water system becomes contaminated or every three months of use.
Sanitizing (without a utility center)
1. Level the recreation vehicle and drain the fresh water system (see Draining the Fresh
Water System).
2. Water heater power switches should be turned OFF (12V gas and 120V electric at the
command center). Gas valve at the water heater should be turned OFF.
3. Bypass the tank (storage) water heater (if so equipped). See photos above, or for a 3
valve bypass; set the water heater bypass valves to BYPASS (middle valve ON supply
valves OFF). Water heater power should be OFF, gas valve to water heater should be
OFF also.
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
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.
5.
Put the sanitizer into the fresh water tank by pouring the solution into the gravity fill
inlet on the outside of the RV.
NOTE: Fresh water tank sizes vary by model; contact your dealer
or Customer Service for your specific tank size.
