Water Purifier
Access to the water purifier is through the (rear) opening on top of the driver side bed base.
For additional detail, refer to the
Water Purification Section.
NOTE: There is
no bypass
feature on a canister style water filter. The filter
cartridge
must
be removed before sanitizing or winterizing the RV (See the
Water Purification System
section).
NOTE: The inside of the filter housing should be cleaned with a mild deter-
gent, then thoroughly rinsed and wiped clean after sanitizing and winterizing.
Sanitizing the Plumbing System
Before sanitizing the plumbing system
The Water Heater must be bypassed.
The Water Purifier must have the filter removed.
Failure to do so could result to damage to the water heater and/or water filter.
When to sanitize
When your recreation vehicle is new.
At the beginning and end of each season.
When the water system becomes contaminated or every three months of use.
How to Sanitize
1.
Use the main switch or pump switch to turn off the power to the water-pump assembly.
2.
Set the water heater bypass valves to the
BYPASS
position
3.
When possible, park the RV on level ground and drain the fresh water system and fresh
water tank (see
Draining the Fresh Water System).
4.
Close the low point drain valves and the fresh water tank drain valve.
5.
If the RV has a cartridge type water purifier, the filter must be removed.
Preparing to Sanitize
Prepare a chlorine solution using 1/4 cup of household bleach (sodium hypochlorite solu-
tion) 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 and should remain in system for at least 4 hours.
