4.
Pour the sanitizer solution into the gravity fill inlet on the outside of the RV. Make sure
the fresh water tank drain is closed.
5.
Finish filling the water tank with fresh water. Water can be poured into the gravity fill
inlet or it can be power filled through the utility center. Instructions on how to fill the
tank both ways can be found previously.
6.
Turn off and disconnect the hose from the water source first, then disconnect from the
utility center. Blue valve position on the utility center will not matter for next steps.
7.
Siphon valve at the water pump should be OFF, and the water tank shutoff valve ON.
8. Turn the water pump ON. Water will be drawn from the tank into the water lines.
9.
Open a hot water faucet until water begins to flow continuously and a chlorine smell is
noticeable then close the faucet. Repeat this for all hot water faucets in the RV. Include
outside shower faucets (if so equipped). Include outside kitchen faucet if equipped.
10.
Open a cold water faucet until water begins to flow continuously and a chlorine smell is
noticeable then close the faucet. Repeat this for all cold water faucets in the RV. Include
outside shower faucets (if so equipped). Include outside kitchen faucet if equipped.
11. Turn the water pump OFF.
12. Let the solution remain in the tank and lines for at least four hours when disinfecting
with 50-PPM residual chlorine. If a shorter time period is desired, then a 100-PPM
chlorine concentration should be permitted to sit in the system for at least one hour.
13. After sanitizing, drain the chlorine solution from the fresh water system. Refer to
Draining the Fresh Water System section.
14.
Pressure fill the fresh water tank (refer to previous instructions). Set the water heater
bypass valves to
NORMAL
. Refer to the appropriat
e water heater bypass
diagram for
your model.
15. When water heater is full of water, turn the water heater power ON. Disconnect any
pressurized water source from the utility center. The water tank shutoff valve (at the
pump) should be turned ON. The siphon valve should be turned OFF. Turn the water
pump ON. Water will be pumped from the water tank into the water lines of the RV.
16.
Open each faucet one by one (both hot and cold) and allow water to flow until the
chlorine smell is gone, then turn each faucet off. Include the outside shower (if so
equipped) and the outside kitchen faucet if equipped.
17. With all faucets closed, turn the pump OFF.
NOTE: If a chlorine taste lingers in the water, flush the water sys -
tem with a solution consisting of one-quart vinegar to five gallons of
clean water. Re-flush as necessary. The vinegar solution may dam -
age the water heater so it must be bypassed again before performing
this operation.
