PLUMBING SYSTEMS
7. Make sure your “water heater bypass”
valves are 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.

YSTEM
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 13, 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. Pour the chlorine solution into the gravity
fill.
4. Continue filling the fresh water tank with
clean (potable) water until it is full.
5. Open the hot water line on all the faucets
(kitchen, lavatory, shower and outside
shower) until water begins to flow
continuously and a chlorine smell is
noticeable.
6. Close the hot water lines and repeat with
the cold water lines on the faucets.
7. Let the solution remain in the system for at
least four hours when disinfecting with 50-
PPM residual chlorine.
If a shorter time period is desired, then a
100-PPM chlorine concentration should be
permitted to sit in the system for at least
one hour.
8. After the required period, drain the
chlorine solution from the fresh water
system (see
Draining the fresh water
system
).
Some solution may remain in the water
heater and will be flushed in the following
steps:
9. Fill the fresh water system using clean
(potable) water (see
Fresh water
connections
) completely full.
10. Then, drain the fresh water system (see
Draining the fresh water system
).
If a chlorine taste lingers in the water, flush
the water system with a solution consisting of
one-quart vinegar to five gallons of clean
water. Re-flush as necessary.
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.
