1. Open all faucets, including the outside
shower faucet.
2. Open the “fresh tank drain” valve.
All permanent fresh
water tanks can be
drained by one of two
types of drain valve: a
white plastic drain is
attached to the exterior
wall (open valve to
drain) or a valve located
inside the RV adjacent
to the water tank (this knob turns 45° to
open or close).
3. Open the “low point
drains” by turning,
then pulling the
handles up. As their
name indicates, they
will be at the lowest
point of water lines.
A label is placed on
the outside of the RV
to indicate where the drains are located.
The drains will typically need to be opened
from inside the trailer. Once the label is
found on the exterior sidewall, go inside
the RV to find the corresponding location
of the drains.
4. Turn ON the water pump and allow it to
run as needed.
5. Operate the toilet flush lever until water
stops flowing.
6. Open all faucets, including the outside
shower faucet.
7. Make sure your “water heater bypass”
valve is open.
8. Relieve the water pressure using the P&T
valve BEFORE removing the water heater
drain plug. Otherwise, if there is any water
pressure present the water will spray out
of the opening when the drain plug is
removed.
When you are finished draining the fresh
water system, reverse these steps and dump
the grey and black water holding tanks at an
appropriate facility or according to local public
codes.

Potable water systems require periodic
maintenance to deliver a consistent flow of
fresh water. For your personal safety, the
plumbing system should be sanitized when
your RV is new, at the beginning and end of
each season and when the water system
becomes contaminated (or approximately
every three months of use).
How to sanitize
1. Level the RV and drain the fresh water
system.
2. Prepare a chlorine solution using 1/4 cup
of household bleach (sodium hypochlorite
solution) to one gallon (3.785 liters) of
water in a container. Prepare one gallon of
solution for every 15 gallons of tank
capacity. This will result in a residual
chlorine concentration of 50 ppm in the
water system.
If a 100-ppm concentration is required as
discussed in step 10, use ½ cup of
household bleach with one gallon of water
to prepare the chlorine solution. One
gallon of the solution should be used for
each 15 gallons of tank capacity.
3. Turn the “water heater bypass” valves to
the BYPASS position.
4. At the gravity fill connection, place a hose
into the container with the chlorine
solution.
If filling from a container of potable
water: to ensure the water pump
primes correctly, sit the container at

Failure to sanitize the potable water
system could result in death or serious
illness.
Chlorine is poisonous. Always recap the
household bleach bottle and clean utensils
and containers after use.
