Disinfecting water system with chlorine bleach (superchlorination) protects you
and your family from bacteriological or viral contamination from any common water
source.
You should disinfect the water system:
• If your motorhome is new.
• If your motorhome has not been used in a long time.
• Every three months.
NOTE: An independently operated water pump with garden hose
connections and a container to hold prepared solution may be desired to
perform this task. The gravity fill may also be used to perform the task.
Remove cap off the gravity fill. Add the solution into the fresh water
tank. When finished, secure the gravity feed cap.
CAUTION: Do not use vinegar to disinfect water system on units using
Aqua-Hot Heating Systems. Vinegar will deteriorate copper tubing.
Use following procedure to disinfect water system:
• Remove the filter elements from the filters and reassemble the filters without
the elements (see "Filter").
• Prepare a chlorine bleach solution using 1 gallon water and 1/4 cup of chlorine
bleach. Use 1 gallon of solution for every 15 gallons of tank capacity. Example:
Add 2-2/3 gallons solution to a 40 gallon tank. Add 4-2/3 gallons solution to a
70 gallon tank. Add 6-2/3 gallons to 100 gallon tank. This mixture puts a
50 ppm (parts per million) residual in the water system. This concentration 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.
• Drain the fresh water tank. Close the drain and pump the solution (if desired)
into the fresh water tank using an independently operated pump and a garden
hose connected to City Water Hook-Up on the water control panel. It can be
poured into the fresh tank using the gravity fill and a funnel. Open each faucet,
in turn, and run the water until you smell a distinct chlorine bleach odor. Do not
forget the hot water, tub and shower faucets.
• Allow the system to stand for four hours.
• Drain the system and flush with fresh water. The drain is located in the outside
water control compartment. Install new water filters. Flush with fresh water
repeatedly, if necessary, until no chlorine bleach taste or smell is left in the
water system.
