Sanitizing and Filling the Potable Water System
For your safety, you should sanitize your potable water system when your
recreational vehicle is new or when it has been sitting unused for a period
of time such as winter time, and it may have become contaminated.
Prepare a chlorine solution using 1/4 cup of bleach (5% sodium
hypochlorite solution) to one gallon of water. Prepare one gallon of this
solution for each 15 gallon capacity of the tank. As designed and
constructed, this method will sanitize the plumbing system.
1. Close all the drains, tank, water heater, and low point.
2. Place prepared sanitizing contents into supply tank.
3. Open faucets.
4. Turn pump on and allow to run until liquid comes thru faucets.
5. Close faucets when air ceases to come out.
6. Allow liquid to remain in system for 3 hours.
7. Drain and flush with fresh water.
8. To remove any excess chlorine taste or odor, prepare a solution
of 1 quart vinegar to 5 gallons of water and allow this solution to
agitate in tank for several days by vehicle motion.
9. Drain tank again and flush with fresh water.
10. Your water system is now ready to use.
11. Turn pump power off when not using it.
The slideouts containing kitchens will have flexible hoses installed on
both fresh water lines and drain lines. Make sure there are no
obstructions, kinks, or bends to allow free flow, and prevent any leakage
for correct drainage.
Drainage (Fresh Water)
All permanent fresh water tanks can be drained. Two types of drains are
used, (1) a push/pull, (2) a turn valve with open/close position or black
cap.
To drain the supply lines and the entire system, you need to follow the
steps listed below. Locate the valve placed at the floor level or close to
the floor, found under the dinette, storage cabinet, or sofa. These valves
will be at the “lowest” point of the water lines.
To Drain System:
1. Open all faucets including optional exterior shower.
2. Open the fresh water tank drain.
3. Open the water heater drain.
4. Open all (two to four) low-point drains.
5. Open the toilet valve, hold or block if need be.
6. To empty the pump, start and allow to run up to 20 seconds.
