DYNASTY 2006 WATER SYSTEMS — SECTION 6 • 223
To Disinfect the Water System:
1. Remove water fi lter elements and re-install the fi lter housings.
2. Drain the fresh water tank. Close drain when done.
3. Prepare a disinfecting solution using one of the following methods.
• Combine one gallon of water and ¼ cup of household bleach. Use 1 gallon of this solution for
every 15 gallons of tank capacity.
• Multiply tank capacity (in gallons) by 0.13. The result is the amount (in ounces) of household
bleach to pour into fresh water tank. These methods will yield a 50 PPM (parts per million)
disinfecting solution in the water system that will act as a quick-kill dosage for harmful
bacteria, viruses and slime-forming organisms. Concentrations higher than 50 PPM may
damage the water lines and/or tanks.
4. Pour the solution into the gravity fi ll opening.
5. Top off tank with fresh water.
6. Turn on the water pump in the motorhome.
7. Open each faucet and run the water until you smell a distinct bleach odor.
8. Turn off all faucets and allow the system to stand for four hours.
9. Drain the fresh water tank of the mixed solution.
10. Fill the water tank with fresh water. Thoroughly fl ush hot and cold lines with fresh water. Repeat this
process until the chlorine bleach smell is no longer detectable in the water system.
11. Install new water fi lters.
TIP:
Use the same hose labeled for potable water to introduce the chlorine solution into the
system. This will disinfect the potable water hose at the same time. Several flushes will be
required to remove chlorine residue from the potable hose.
INFORMATION:
Household bleach is 5.25% Sodium Hypochlorite. Higher concentration will increase PPM
Ratio.
Aqua-Hot (Optional):
The Aqua-Hot copper tubing is rated for use with fresh water and winterizing solutions only. Periodic fl ushing
with other common household chemicals, including bleach, will have little or no effect on the product if properly
rinsed with the fresh water afterwards. Failure of copper tubing, especially soft or fl exible copper, can result if
materials other than water or winterizing solutions are allowed to reside inside the piping for extended periods
of non-use. The most common cause for failure is due to an extended exposure to chlorine, solutions containing
chlorine (i.e. bleach) or hydrochloric acid.
CAUTION:
Do not use vinegar to disinfect the water system. Vinegar will deteriorate the copper tubing
inside the Aqua-Hot Domestic Water Loop. Thoroughly rinse chlorine bleach or other
concentrated chlorine bearing chemicals as they can also cause failure to the Aqua-Hot
Domestic Water Loop (copper tubing).
FAUCETS
The kitchen faucet head has a fl exible hose allowing the faucet head to be removed from the base. O-rings
seal the faucet head to the base preventing water from dripping into the cabinet. Push the slide bar to select either
stream or spray.
