Drain the fresh water tank. Water tank
drain is located at the bottom of the tank.
Close the drain and pour the solution into
the fresh water tank using the gravity fill
and a funnel.
Turn the water pump ON . Open each
faucet, in turn, and run the water until
you smell a distinct chlorine bleach odor.
Do not forget the hot water, tub and
shower faucets.
Allow the system to stand for 4 hours.
Drain the system and flush with
fresh water. The water tank and low
point drains are located in an outside
compartment. Flush with fresh water
repeatedly, until the water system no
longer smells or tastes like chlorine
bleach.
Install new water filters.
TIP
Use the same hose labeled for potable
water to introduce the chlorine solution
into the system. This will disinfect
the potable water hose at the same
time. Several flushes will be required
to remove chlorine residue from the
potable hose.
INFORMATION
Household bleach is 5.25% Sodium
Hypochlorite. Higher concentration will
increase PPM ratio.

faucet ScreenS
Fresh water sources will vary by location.
Build up of lime deposits, or debris on the faucet
screen, will restrict or plug the flow of water
coming from the faucets. Should the flow of
water reduce, the filter screen in the faucet head
may be clogged. All faucet screens should be
checked and cleaned every two weeks of use.
Faucet screens ar normally located on the
outlet side of the faucet and held in place
with a threaded collar.
Remove screen from faucet.
Clean screen using a small soft brush and
de-liming solution.
Reinstall screen and check water flow.

Proper Waste Disposal
Dumping raw sewage from toilet holding
tanks, except at authorized dumping stations,
is universally prohibited. Most National, State
and private parks have either a central dump
facility or campsite hook-up for sewage. Many
modern rest areas along the interstate now have
dump stations available. Woodall’s Campground
Directory, Trailer Life’s RV Campgrounds
and Services Directory, Rand McNally’s
Campground and Trailer Park Guide, Good
Sam Park Director (Good Sam Club) and other
similar publications list dumping stations. Some
major oil companies offer dump facilities at
selected stations also.
What Not to Put in Waste Holding Tanks
DO NOT use strong or full strength
detergents to deodorize and disinfect.
Use odor control chemicals made
especially for holding tanks.
Automotive antifreeze, ammonia, alcohol
or acetone in holding tanks will dissolve
plastic.
DO NOT dispose of table scraps or
cooking grease into the tanks. They can
clog pipes or damage the valve seals.
Facial tissue is thicker, softer and
stronger than a rapidly dissolving tissue.
White toilet paper dissolves faster than
colored. To test tissue dissolving ability,
immerse one tissue square into a jar
of water. Shake the jar five times to
determine how the tissue disintegrates.
