ppm in the water system and should remain in system for at least 4 hours.
If a 100 ppm concentration is prepared, use ½ cup of household bleach with one gallon of
water. One gallon of the solution should be used for each 15 gallons of tank capacity. Allow
to remain in system for at least 1 hour.
NOTE: Fresh water tank sizes vary by model. Contact your dealer or cus-
tomer service for your specific tank size.
1.
Turn water heater power OFF (storage style-both electric and LP gas switches; tankless
water heater power switch).
2.
Level the RV and drain the fresh water system (see
Draining the Fresh Water System
).
3.
Close the low point drain valves and the fresh water tank drain valve.
4.
Remove the water filter from the full system canister in the basement area of the motor
home (see
Water Purification
section). Re-attach the empty canister and turn the water
supply valves at the filter ON.
NOTE: For complete sanitizing of the fresh water tank, the unit should be
driven around for a brief time allowing the solution to splash the sides and
top of the tank.
How to Sanitize (NO UTILITY CENTER)
1.
Set the water heater bypass valves to BYPASS: valves A&B closed and valve C open
(refer to
Water Heater Bypass Valves
section).
2.
Put the sanitizer solution in the fresh water tank: Insert one end of a hose or funnel in
the gravity fill inlet, insert the other end into a container holding the chlorine solution.
Do not use your non-toxic drinking water hose. Pour the chlorine solution into the
gravity fill.
3.
Remove the hose or funnel and container used to pour the chlorine solution, and con-
tinue filling the fresh water tank with clean (potable) water until tank is full. Pour fresh
water into the gravity fill inlet until tank is completely full.
4.
After the recommended amount of sanitizing solution is in the tank, the water tank is
full, and water filter has been removed, turn the pump ON which sends sanitizer into
the water lines.
NOTE: Fresh water tank sizes vary by model. Contact your dealer or cus-
tomer service for your specific tank size. Water heater must be BYPASSED.
5.
Open all hot water faucets one by one until water begins to flow continuously and a
chlorine smell is noticeable. Include outside shower faucets (if so equipped).
6.
Close the hot water faucets and repeat opening all cold water faucets one by one until
you smell chlorine. Include the toilet and outside shower faucets (if so equipped).
7.
Turn OFF the water pump.
8.
Let the solution remain in the tank and lines for at least four hours when disinfecting
with 50-PPM residual chlorine, and for at least one hour if using a 100-PPM chlorine
concentration.
NOTE: For complete fresh water tank sanitization, driving your unit around
for a short distance will allow the sanitizing solution to splash around all sides
of the tank.
9.
After the required period, drain the chlorine solution from the fresh water system (see
Draining the Fresh Water System
). Since the water heater was bypassed there should
be no sanitizer in the tank water heater.
