SECTION 7 –
PLUMBING
Continuous Tank Disinfection
(Superchlorination)
Some RVers like to ensure continuous
sanitation of their fresh water tank by
“superchlorination”– maintaining an effective
low level of chlorine in the tank at all times.
•
Add 1 teaspoon of chlorine bleach (sodium
hypochlorite) to your tank for each 10 gallons
of tank capacity. When you fill the tank, this
will result in a 6.7 ppm level of chlorine,
which should kill harmful bacteria and slime-
forming organisms.
•
Chlorine may be removed from drinking
water by the cold water filter at the galley
faucet (if equipped) or by installing an
activated carbon water purifier at the galley
sink cold waterline or a separate drinking
water faucet with filter.
•
Superchlorination does not affect city water
usage, only the fresh water tank.
COLD WATER FILTER
–If Equipped
To obtain filtered cold water for drinking or
cooking, simply open the galley sink cold water
faucet.
NOTE: Only the cold water faucet is filtered.
The cold waterline of the faucet flows through
an activated carbon filter that removes chlorine
and odors for taste-free drinking water.
Replacing the Cold Water Filter
Cartridge
You should replace the filter cartrige every
season and when water flow from the faucet is
too slow for convenience. The cartridge must be
replaced at least every 12 months.
•
Place a container beneath the filter to catch
any water remaining in the waterlines during
filter removal.
•
Twist the filter cartridge counter-clockwise
(to the left) about one-quarter turn, then pull it
down and out of the filter socket.
•
Insert a new water filter cartridge up into the
filter socket as far as possible and twist it
clockwise (to the right) one-quarter turn until
it stops.
