8. Turn on the potable water source, and completely fill the water tank. (This will flush the bleach/water solution
from the filter housing [Step 4] into the water tanks.)
9. Turn off the tank fill valve (on non-auto fill coaches).
10. Turn on the water pump.
11. Run water out of one faucet on both hot and cold settings until a strong bleach smell becomes evident.
12. Repeat this for all faucets, as well as the refrigerator, dishwasher, washing machine, toilets, low point drains,
etc.
IMPORTANT
Top off the water tank so that the sides and top of the tank are sanitized as well.
13. Turn on the refrigerator and the ice maker. Depending on your refrigerator model, the ice maker may have a
flip lever or an ON/OFF switch. Let the ice maker run until the bleach/water solution is detected. This may take a
few cycles. One cycle consists of the ice maker filling the trays with water, freezing the water, and then dumping
the ice into the ice bin. This cycling process will occur automatically if the refrigerator, the ice maker, and the water
pump are all turned on.
14. Disconnect the water hose, and dump out some water.
15. Pour one ounce (1 oz.) of bleach into the water hose, and reconnect it to the potable water supply.
16. Turn on the water for a brief moment to flush the bleach through the water hose, allowing it to mix in the hose
reel or the portable hose used for potable water.
17. Turn off the water supply, and disconnect the water hose.
18. Cap the end of the hose.
19. Let the bleach water sit in the system for a minimum of four hours. However, for best results, allow the
solution to sit overnight or up to 12 hours.
20. Drain the fresh tank using the drain valve.
21. Fill the fresh tank with clean potable water.
22. Run water out of each faucet on both hot and cold settings until the bleach smell is no longer evident.
NOTICE
If the bleach smell is still noticeable, repeat steps 21-22 to flush the system again.
IMPORTANT
If algae or slime is detected in the fresh water system, it may be necessary to repeat the entire process until
the system is flushed clean.
Once the system is flushed, Newmar recommends replacing the water filters. Do not re-use the contaminated filters, as
this will greatly reduce the effectiveness of the sanitization process.
IMPORTANT
Sanitizing through the winterization process will not sanitize the fresh tank or all of the water lines.
