WATER SYSTEM DRAIN
The water system should be drained if it will be out of
service for more than one week. This will prevent algae
and bacteria contamination of your fresh water system.
To drain your camper:
1.
The trailer should be level and pump control
switch in OFF position.
2.
Open all faucets and showerhead.
3.
Open water tank drain valve located in rear basement.
4.
Open water line low point drains located in rear basement.
5.
Open water heater drain and relief valves.
SANITIZING FRESH WATER SYSTEM
Sanitize the fresh water system and piping at initial
use, at least once a year and whenever the RV
sits for a prolonged period. This will help keep the
tank and lines fresh and will discourage the growth of
bacteria and other organisms that can contaminate
the water supply. Rinse the tank with a chlorine/fresh
water solution as follow:
1.
Drain water system.
2.
Prepare a chlorine solution with one gallon of
water and 1/4 cup household bleach.
3.
Pour one gallon of solution for each 15 gallons of
tank capacity into fill spout.
4.
Fill tank with fresh water.
5.
Open each faucet and water heater relief valve
until water flows evenly.
6.
Set pump switch to OFF.
7.
Allow solution to stand for 3 hours.
8.
Drain and flush with fresh water.
9.
To remove any chlorine taste or odor, fill tank with
one-quart vinegar to 5 gallons water. Allow
solution to remain in tank several days if possible.
10.
Drain and flush with fresh water.

SHOWER
The showerhead is removable for hand-held use and
equipped with a water flow control device to allow you
to conserve water while showering. After showering,
there may be some water discharge at the sink faucet.
This water is draining from the shower hose through an
anti-siphon valve in the faucet and is normal.
NOTE:
For your protection, this faucet is equipped with
a vacuum breaker (backflow preventer) to prevent
contamination of your potable water supply. The water
in the hand-held shower hose will drain through this
vacuum breaker when the faucet is turned OFF. This is
not a leak. This drainage is inherent in the design of
the vacuum breaker, and is evidence that it is
functioning.
Due to design precautions, hand held shower heads,
when in the “hold” position must have a built-in leak
rate of not less than 1 gallon per 30 minutes of time.
This leakage is not a defect but is an attempt to reduce
the possibility of scalding accidents due to temperature
changes from fluctuating water pressure.
