It is recommended that you thoroughly sanitize the water system upon de-
livery, following long periods of non-use, and after any suspected contamina-
tion. There are various commercial solutions approved for RV use available
that will assist you in completely sanitizing the water system.
RVIA RECOMMENDED SANITIZING PROCEDURE:
1. Prepare a chlorine solution using 1 1/2 cup of household bleach (5% sodi-
um hypochlorite solution) per 100 gallon tank of water. This solution can
be funneled into empty garden hose and forced into tank by water pressure.
Repeat as needed.
2. Complete filling of tank with fresh water. Open faucets to release air. Pres-
surize system with pump until water flows. Turn off pump.
3. Allow to stand for three hours.
4. Drain and flush with potable fresh water.
5. To remove excessive chlorine taste or odor which may remain, prepare a
solution of one quart vinegar to five gallons water and allow solution to ag-
itate in tank by vehicle motion (several days, if possible). The same method
of installing bleach, as described in No. 1 can be utilized to install vinegar.
6. Drain tank and again flush with potable fresh water.
