Sanitizing the Fresh Water System
Sanitize the system before initial use, after extended periods of nonuse, at least once a year during
continuous use, and whenever there is suspicion that the system has been contaminated.
To sanitize the system use the following procedure:
1. Prepare a chlorine solution using a gallon of water and ¼ cup of liquid bleach (5% sodium
hypochlorinate solution). Use one gallon of solution for each 15 gallons of tank capacity.
2. With tank empty, and all faucet's and drains closed, pour the solution into fresh water tank.
3. Complete filling the tank with fresh water.
4. Switch on the water pump. Open all faucet's until all air is purged, and the water flows freely.
5. Again add fresh water to the tank until the water level reaches the fill spout.
6. Allow the system to stand undisturbed for several hours (at least three).
7. Drain the system by opening all faucet's, low point drain’s and the fresh water tank drain valve,
while flushing the system with potable water for several minutes.
8. Close the tank drain valve, low point drain’s and faucet's. Refill the system with potable water.
