5.
Refill the fresh water tank with fresh water again and when water heater is full of water,
turn the water heater power ON. Refer to Step 13 for instructions on refilling the fresh
water tank.
Lingering Chlorine Taste:
If 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. The vinegar solution may damage the water heater or the water filter, so both must
be bypassed again before performing this operation.
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.
For the
full system canister
water filter, remove the canister, take out the filter, and then
re-attach the empty canister.
After draining the system:
1.
Water heater power should still be OFF (both switches: electric & LP Gas).
2.
Put the vinegar solution into the fresh water tank; set
the valves to the
SANITIZE
setting. Attach a hose to
the city water fill inlet. Put the other end of the hose in
a container with the vinegar solution. Turn the pump
ON. The solution will be drawn into the fresh water
tank (the water heater will be bypassed automatically).
When the container is empty, turn pump OFF, and disconnect hose from utility panel.
To aid in siphoning, place the container approximately (2) feet off the ground. The
drain valves must be closed.
3.
Fill the fresh water tank full of clean (potable) water. Use water from either a pres-
surized source or from a container (as detailed below).
DO NOT OVERFILL THE
WATER TANK!
a).
Filling from a pressurized source:
Set the valves to the
POWER FILL TANK
setting. Connect a non-toxic drinking hose to the city water fill inlet. Connect the
other end of the hose to the pressurized water
source. Turn on the water source. When tank is
full, turn off the water source,
disconnect the
hose from the water source first,
then discon-
nect from the utility panel.
b).
Siphon filling from a water container:
set the
valves to the
SANITIZE
setting. Insert a hose
into the city water fill inlet, place other end of the
hose in a container of water. Turn pump ON to
draw water into the tank. After the tank is full,
turn the pump OFF. Remove the hose and the
container. To aid in siphoning place the container approximately (2) feet off the
ground. The drain valves must be closed.
4.
Run water through all faucets (hot & cold, includ-
ing outside shower) until chlorine smell is gone. Set
the valves to the
DRY CAMPING
setting. Turn the
pump ON to send water through the lines.
5.
Close all faucets including outside shower. Turn
pump OFF.
6.
Drain the system again, but don’t drain the water heater. Do not remove water heater
drain plug (if so equipped).
