•
If dry camping, be sure the 12-volt water
pump is ON.
•
Ensure the hand held sprayer and hose
quick connections are securely fastened
•
Open the faucet knobs and adjust them to
the desired temperature.
•
Depress the sprayer handle to activate
To cease operation, close the faucet knobs
and disconnect the hand held sprayer and
hose. After the remaining water has been
allowed to drain from the hand held sprayer
and hose, replace it in the universal docking
station. Any remaining water in the hose or
sprayer may drip or run out; this is not a leak
but performs as intended. For sanitary
reasons, keep the universal docking station
compartment door closed when not in use.

To drain the fresh water holding tank and
supply lines:
1. Make sure your “water
heater bypass valves” are
open.
2. Open the exterior “fresh
tank drain” valve located
under the RV.
3. Open the “low point
drains” by turning, then
pulling the valve handles
up. These valves are
located in the universal
docking center. As their
name indicates, they will
be at the lowest point of
water lines.
4. Open all faucets, including
the outside shower
faucets.
5. Turn ON the water pump
and allow it to run as
needed.
6. Operate the toilet flush lever until water
stops flowing.
7. 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), tastes stale or
has an odor.
1. Level the RV and drain the fresh water
system.
2. Prepare a chlorine solution by adding
about 1/4 cup of unscented household
bleach (sodium hypochlorite solution) to a
one gallon container; then, continue filling
the container with clean, potable water.
Chlorine is poisonous. Always recap the
household bleach bottle and clean utensils
and containers after use.
When you drain a RV fresh water holding
tank there may still be some water left in
the tank. It is very important you sanitize
and flush the fresh water system to remove
this residual water before using the RV
again. Failure to sanitize the potable water
system could result in death or serious
illness.
