PLUMBING
Initial Waterline Priming
1. Ensure that all water drain valves are closed,
including water heater valve.
2. Turn Water Pump switch to “OFF” position.
3. Fill water tank.
4. Open all faucets, hot and cold.
5. Turn ON the Water Pump switch.
6. Close each faucet as it begins to deliver a
steady stream of water (close cold water first.)
Leave hot water faucets on until they also
deliver a steady stream of water. This will
ensure that the water heater is filled with
water.
7. Check to ensure the Water Pump stops soon
after all faucets have been closed.
8. The Water Pump is now ready for automatic
operation. The pump will start when a faucet
is opened and stop when the faucet is closed.

DISINFECTING YOUR FRESH
WATER SYSTEM
(As required by NFPA
®
1192 Standard on
Recreational Vehicles)
To ensure complete disinfection of the potable
water system, it is recommended that the
following procedure be followed on a new
system, one that has not been used for a period of
time, or one that could have become
contaminated.
This procedure is also recommended before
long periods of storage, such as over winter.
Disinfecting with City Water Fill
When disinfecting through the city water fill,
an external cartridge-type water filter assembly
must be connected in-line between the city water
hose and the city water fill to add disinfecting
solution to the tank. These filters are commonly
available at most RV supply stores.
NOTE: If you do not have an in-line cartridge
filter, see City Water Hose/Tank
Disinfection following this procedure for
an alternate method of adding bleach
solution to your tank.
1. Remove the filter cartridge and pour 1/4 cup
of household chlorine bleach (sodium
hypochlorite solution) for each 15 gallons of
tank capacity into the empty filter canister,
then screw the canister back onto the filter
base.
This solution will result in a residual chlorine
concentration of approximately 50 ppm in the
water system.
(If a 100 ppm concentration is
desired, use 1/2 cup of household bleach for each
