Second step
You will need a good supply of fresh water and a cup of chlorine
•
• Fill the fresh water tank approximately 1/2 full, adding a cup of chlorine bleach halfway through the filling process.
•
• Turn on the water pump, and circulate the dilute bleach solution through the entire system. The water heater is still
winterized. Run water out of all three faucets (galley, bathroom, and outside shower), hot and cold, until you smell chlorine.
With the water pump on, open the city water valve and let the pump push water through the fill line for a minute or so.

•
• To open the valve, loosen the Robertson head screws holding the plastic radiator cover on the side door step. Remove the
plastic cover, and the city valve is inside the exposed opening on the left side of the side door step. Turn the handle
horizontally to the parallel-to-the-line position (see photos above). The water pump will operate. Allow it to run about 20
seconds. Turn city water valve off (black plastic handle will be vertical).
perform this step and skip the following step beginning "Open the galley sink...". If your CS Adventurous has the Alde
system, skip to the next step beginning "Lift the cushions...".
