Use one gallon of the chlorine solution for
every 15 gallons of RV fresh water tank
capacity. This should result in a residual
chlorine concentration of 50 ppm in the
RV fresh water system.
If a 100-ppm concentration is used, add ½
cup of unscented household bleach to a
one gallon container; then, continue filling
the container with clean, potable water.
Use one gallon of the chlorine solution for
every 15 gallons of RV fresh water tank
capacity.
3. Open the “water heater bypass valves.”
4. The low point drains must be closed for
the chlorine solution to siphon through the
lines.
5. Open the “fresh water tank bypass valve.”
6. Place the free end of the clear hose in the
container of chlorine solution and open the
“winterization valve”.
7. Turn the water pump ON.
If the water pump fails to self-prime,
temporarily open the low point drains. Close
the low point drains as soon as the water
pump primes (the chlorine solution will begin
draining out) and before continuing to the next
step.
8. Turn OFF the water pump when the
container of chlorine solution is empty.
9. Continue filling the fresh water tank with
clean (potable) water until it is full.
10. 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.
11. Close the hot water lines and repeat with
the cold water lines on the faucets.
12. Let the solution remain in the system for at
least four hours when disinfecting with 50-
PPM residual chlorine solution. If possible,
drive your tow vehicle and RV around for
approximately 20 minutes to agitate
solution and assist in cleaning the entire
tank.
If a shorter time period is desired, then the
100-PPM chlorine solution should be
permitted to sit in the RV fresh water
system for at least one hour.
13. After the required period, drain the
chlorine solution from the fresh water
system.
Flush the RV fresh water system to remove
any residual chlorine solution by using the
following steps:
14. Fill the RV fresh water system using
clean, potable water.
15. Open all of the faucets and run the water.
16. Then, drain the fresh water system.
If a chlorine taste lingers in the water, flush
the RV fresh water system with a solution
consisting of one-quart vinegar to five gallons
of clean water. Re-flush with clean, potable
water as needed.

Preparing your RV for colder weather or
storage is very important for most states and
Canada. Failure to prepare your RV may
cause water supply lines and the water heater
to freeze. No commodity or product should be
added to the fresh water system to ensure
freeze protection other than RV antifreeze.
The RV should be winterized at the end of the
camping season or when the RV will be
exposed to temperatures that will fall at or
below 32°F (0°C). Repairs due to freezing are
not warrantable. It may be easier to winterize
the RV with another person to assist you.
1. Level the RV and drain the fresh water
plumbing system.
2. Bypass the water filter cartridge.
Automotive antifreeze (ethylene glycol) and
windshield washer antifreeze (methanol)
are poisonous. Never use these products
in your fresh water system. These products
are harmful and may be fatal if swallowed.
