erform the full system draining procedure to clean and sanitize your water system:
- Mix 1/6-cup of regular chlorine bleach (not fragranced) for every 15 gallons of tank capacity into a container filled with a gallon or two of clean water. The Cricket has a 12
gallon fresh water tank.
- Pour this mixture into the water tank via the water tank inlet
- Top off the water tank with fresh water. Drive the trailer around the block a couple of times to mix the solution.
- Pump about a quart of water through the sink and shower faucets so that all the lines are filled with the water/bleach mixture from the tank.
- Run the hot water faucets until this much of the water/bleach solution has passed to ensure that the old water has been purged from the tank and replaced by the new
solution.
- Let the water stand in the system for three to six hours.
- Drain the fresh water tank via the valve located on the bottom of the fresh water tank below the trailer.
- To remove any bleach odor, mix a cup of baking soda with a gallon of water and pour into the fresh water tank.
- Fill the tank completely and pump this solution through the water heater and the rest of the water lines as in step 5. Let this solution sit in the system for a few days to
neutralize the odor.
- Perform the full system draining procedure.
