3. Once the freshwater tank is empty, close the valve in the water tank.
4. Pump the chlorine solution into the tank by taking the hose attachment and attaching it to the pump and then
put in the chlorine solution. Cut off the vale between tank and the pump has to be turned to “off.” Turn the tank
fill valve from “city water” to “tank fill” (Figure 11-9). Turn “on” the water pump until all of the solution is
pumped into the freshwater tank.
5. Turn “off” the water pump. Open the valve from the tank to the water pump. Fill the water tank with the city
water tank fill (or by using the same method as was used to put the sanitizing solution into the tank).
6. Remove the water filter (located in the sanitation compartment outside the motor home) and put filter housing
back on. Open each faucet, in turn, including the kitchen faucet, bath faucet, inside and outside showers,
turning “on” both the hot and cold faucets and flushing the toilet until all of the air has been purged from the
pipes and the water runs freely. The entire system will then be filled with the sanitizing solution.
7. Allow the 50 ppm disinfecting solution to stand in the system at least four hours.
8. Drain the system and flush it with freshwater. The water system needs to be flushed with water repeatedly,
if necessary, until there is no chlorine taste or smell left in the system. To remove any excessive chlorine taste or
odor that might remain, prepare a solution of one quart of vinegar to five gallons of water. “Rock” the tank
containing the solution by moving the motor home forward and backward several times to clean the tank;
then drain that tank and refill with clean water.
