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 for several days
by vehicle motion. Drain the solution and refill the tank with clean water.
Drink Dispenser with Water Filter (Optional)
If this unit is equipped with a water filter, it must
be removed before disinfecting the fresh water
system. First remove the water filter, and then install
the by-pass pipe to allow the sanitizing solution
access to the drink dispenser faucet. The water filter
is located under the kitchen sink. The filter will
remove chlorine, dirt, and other matter. It will also
eliminate most phenol (or similar) odors and tastes
while delivering sparkling, taste free water for
drinking and cooking. The filter is connected only to
the cold water line that is attached to the drink faucet.
The filter is not guaranteed to remove the tastes and
odors of iron and sulfur. To remove these tastes you will need to chlorinate the
water. Replacement filters are available that will filter iron and sulfur. Ask
your dealer or RV supply center about acquiring an iron and sulfur filter. If
you are traveling in an area where the water has a high iron and sulfur content,
then add 1 tablespoon of chlorine bleach to every 10 gallons of water in your
tank. This will precipitate the iron or sulfur so that the filter can remove it.
If you are at a site where the unit is hooked up to city water, you will not be
able to chlorinate the system because the water flows straight to your faucets
and not through the fresh water tank. Filters should be changed every 6 - 12
months depending on the quality and quantity of water that is used in your
unit.
Water Heater By-Pass System
The water heater by-pass valve is located in an outside compartment near the
water heater. By closing the water heater supply valve and opening the by-pass
valve you can divert water away from the water heater. This is done when
winterizing your unit. Using the by-pass will keep antifreeze out of the water
heater when winterizing the system. Draining the water heater during
winterizing is
REQUIRED .
