Water Pump is Noisy or Rough in
Operation:
Check for plumbing that may have
vibrated loose.
Does the mounting surface multiply
noise (flexible)?
Check for mounting feet that are loose
or compressed too tight.
Look for loose pump head to motor
screws.
Water Pump is Rapid Cycling:
Look for restrictive water flow in the
faucets or shower heads.

Disinfecting the water system with
household bleach (superchlorination) protects
against bacteriological or viral contamination
from common water sources.
Disinfect the fresh water system:
If the motorhome is new.
If the motorhome has been in storage.
Every three months during use.
Fresh Water Tank
Disinfecting the fresh water tank will require
an auxiliary water pump to dispense the
solution into the fresh water tank. The onboard
water pump will then be used to pump the
solution throughout the plumbing system.

Prepare a household chlorine bleach
solution of 1 gallon water and ¼ cup
of chlorine bleach. Use 1 gallon of
solution for every 15 gallons of tank
capacity. This mixture puts a 50 ppm
(parts per million) residual in the water
system and acts as a quick-kill dosage
for harmful bacteria, viruses and slime-
forming organisms. Concentrations
higher than 50 ppm may damage the
water lines and/or tanks.
Drain the fresh water tank. Close the
fresh water tank drain valve.
INFORMATION
Household bleach is 5.25% Sodium
Hypochlorite. Higher concentration
will increase PPM ratio.
Close the water heater bypass valve.
This ensures that none of the prepared
disinfecting solution enters the water
heater. If applicable, refer to the water
heater OEM manual for instruction on
flushing the water heater.
Obtain an auxiliary water pump. Place
the intake side of the pump into the
disenfecting solution.
Connect the output side of the pump
to the city water inlet. Place the city
water/fresh tank fill valve to Tank Fill.
Turn on the auxiliary water pump to
dispense solution into the fresh water
tank.
Once solution is in the fresh water
tank, turn on the onboard water pump
to pump the solution through the
plumbing system.

Open each faucet (hot and cold) in
sequence until a distinct chlorine
bleach odor is present. Do not forget
the shower faucets.
Turn off all faucets and allow the
system to stand for 4 hours.
Drain the fresh water tank of the
prepared solution.
Fill the fresh water tank with fresh
water. Thoroughly flush hot and cold
water lines with fresh water. Repeat
this process until the chlorine smell
and taste is no longer detectable in the
water system.
Turn water heater bypass valve to
normal flow position.
TIP
Use the same hose labeled for potable
water to introduce the chlorine
solution into the system. This will
disinfect the potable water hose at
the same time. Several flushes will be
required to remove chlorine residue
from the potable hose.
INFORMATION
Household bleach is 5.25% Sodium
Hypochlorite. Higher concentration
will increase PPM ratio.
