lines before re-lighting.
ODOR FROM HOT WATER SYSTEM
O dor from the hot water system is not a service problem and m any water supplies
contain sufficient am ounts of su lp h u r to produce an odor. T he odor is sim ilar to
ro tten eggs and is often referred to as "sulphur w ater". It is not harm ful - o n ly
unplea sant to sm ell. Sulphur water can be caused by a chem ical action or by
bacteria. The solution to elim inate is chlorination of the water system . Add about
six (6) ounces of chlorinated com m on household liquid bleach to each 10 gallons
in the water tank. Then run the chlorinated water throughout the system , opening
each faucet one at a tim e until you sm ell the chlorine. L et th e R V sit for a few days
and the chlorine should tak e care o f the problem . Then you will need to tak e care
of the chlorine. R em ove the chlorine by flushing the system with fresh water. T his
m ay take several attem pts. You m ay consider adding a filtering system that
rem oves chlorine and pre v e n ts sulphur w ater. If the sulphur or rotten egg sm ell
continues, flush the system once again as described above and replace anode rod
as necessary.

WINTERIZING
If your water heater plum bing system is eq uipped w ith a bypass k it, use it to close
off the water heater, drain the water heater com pletely and leave the water heater
clos ed off (out of the system ) in the bypass position
particularly
if you are
introducing antifreeze into the plum bing system . A ntifreeze can be very corrosive
to the anode rod creating prem ature failure and heavy sedim ent in the tank. If the
plum bing system is not equipped with a bypass kit, and you intend to winterize by
adding a ntifreeze to the system , rem ove the a node rod (storing it for the winter)
and replace it with a 3/4" drain plug.
