solution. This mixture puts a 50 PPM (parts per million) residual chlorine concentration in the water
system that will act as a quick kill dosage for harmful bacteria, viruses and slime forming organisms.
Concentrations higher than 50 PPM may damage the water lines and/or tank.
3.
Once the fresh water tank is empty, close the drain valves on the water tank.
4.
Remove the “whole house” filter element from the housing in the water compartment, and fill the
housing with the chlorine solution. Re-attached the housing and pump the solution into the tank.
Repeat this process until the correct amount of solution is in the tank. Turn the tank fill valve from
city water to tank fill. Turn on the water pump until all of the solution is pumped into the fresh water
tank.
5.
Turn off the water pump. Close the valve to the solution. Open the valve from the tank to the water
pump. Fill the water tank with the city water tank fill (or by using the same method as was used to
put the sanitizing solution into the tank). Remove the water filter (from the drink dispenser faucet, if
installed) and install the by-pass pipe to allow the sanitizing solution access to the faucet. Open each
faucet in turn including the kitchen faucet, bath faucet, inside and outside shower, turning on both the
hot and cold, and flushing the stool until all of the air has been purged from the pipes and the water
runs freely. The entire system will then be filled with the sanitizing solution.
6.
Allow the 50 PPM disinfecting solution to stand in the system at least four hours.
Drain the system and flush with fresh water. The water system needs to be flushed with clean water
repeatedly, if necessary, until there is no chlorine taste or smell left in the system. To remove any
excessive chlorine taste or odor that might remain, prepare a solution of one quart vinegar to five
gallons of water. Allow this solution to agitate in the tank by vehicle motion. Drain the solution and
refill the tank with clean water.
IMPORTANT
Make sure the chlorine bleach solution is thoroughly and completely purged from the plumbing before using
the fresh water system. Also, never use alternative cleansers; only potable materials may be used in your
fresh water plumbing system.
