Section 8: Plumbing System
NOTE: To thoroughly sanitize the fresh water tank, the unit should be driven
around for a short distance allowing the solution to splash the sides and top
of the tank.
15. After the required period, drain the chlorine solution from the fresh water system.
Rinse the system with fresh water
16. Fill the fresh water tank full of clean (potable) water. Use water either from a pressur-
ized source, or from a container (as detailed below).
Filling from a pressurized source:
Attach your fresh water hose to the CITY
WATER CONNECTION inlet at the utility center. Connect the other end of the
hose to a pressurized water source. Colored valves should be in the TANK FILL
position. Turn the water on and finish filling the water tank with fresh water.
DO
NOT OVERFILL THE TANK!
Use the LED indicators on the tank monitor
inside the RV at the Command Center panel to monitor water level in fresh water
tank.
Syphon filling from a water container:
Fresh water hose should be connected
to the CITY WATER inlet, other end of the hose placed in a bucket of water. Col-
ored valves should 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.
17. Power to water heater should be OFF (electric and LP Gas switches on standard storage
water heater). Red handle setting.to the water heater is OFF.
18. When the fresh water tank is full, set the valves to the
DRY CAMPING
setting. Turn
the pump ON to send water through the lines.
19. Run water through all faucets (hot and cold, including outside shower and outside
kitchen) until chlorine smell is gone. Turn all faucets and outside shower off, turn pump
OFF.
20.
Drain the fresh water system again. If the RV has the full system canister water filter,
remove the canister, reinstall the filter, and reattach the canister.
21.
Refill the fresh water tank with fresh water again and when water heater is full of water,
turn the water heater power ON, and the red handle setting to the water heater is on
(normal). Water heater is full if you open a
HOT
water faucet and water comes out in
a steady stream.
I
f a chlorine taste lingers in the water, flush the water system with a solution consisting
of one-quart vinegar to five gallons of clean water. Re-flush as necessary. Remove the
canister water filter and bypass the water heater as the vinegar solution may damage
the water heater or the water filter.
The water heater should be bypassed.
Follow the steps outlined in
Draining the Fresh Water System
with one exception:
do not drain the water heater. Do not remove the water heater drain plug.
Remove or bypass the water filter.
Canister filter:
Turn off water valves at the canister filter. Remove canister lid,
put filter back into canister, and replace the canister lid. Turn water valves back
on.

Remove the clear plastic bypass tube and replace the water filter
cartridge.
After draining the system:

For a tank type (storage) water heater, the power should still be OFF (both electric and
LP Gas switches).
