POTABLE WATER SYSTEM SANITIZING:
NOTE: Water system must be in summer operation mode, (190 models).
Your potable water system should be sanitized if it is new, has not been used for a period of time, or may have
become contaminated.
To sanitize your system:
1. Prepare a chlorine solution using 4 L, (1 gallon) of water and 60 ml, (1/4 cup) of household bleach,
(5% sodium hypo chlorite solution).
2. With the fresh water tank empty, (see section on Waste Water Tank Flushing), pour, (see section on Filling
Fresh Water Tank), 4 L, (1 gallon) of solution into the tank for each 60 L, (15 gallon) of tank capacity. As an
alternative, several commercial solutions are available and should be used as directed on the package.
3. Complete filling the fresh water tank(s), (190 models) with potable fresh water.
4. Turn on the water pump and slowly open all three faucets and flush the toilet to release trapped air.
5. Close all three faucets and allow to stand for 3 hours then drain and flush with fresh potable water.
6. To remove excessive chlorine taste or odor which may remain, prepare a solution of 1 L, (1 quart) vinegar
to 20 L, (5 gallons) water and pour into tank and allow solution to agitate in tank by vehicle motion,
(several days if possible).
7. Drain fresh water tank(s) and flush with fresh potable water.
WATER SYSTEM WINTERIZING:
NOTE: Water system must be in summer operation mode and repeat operations 5 and 6 with water system in winter
operation mode, (190 Models).
To winterize your potable water system:
1. Drain the entire water system including the water heater (refer to water heater owners manual for
instructions on draining), and waste tanks.
2. Place water heater bypass in the bypass position to prevent the water heater from filling with antifreeze,
(see picture G-P15 on page G-8).
3. Add 8 L, (2 gallons for each fresh water tank on 190 models and the exterior fresh water tank for the
170 model) of approved nontoxic recreational vehicle antifreeze to the interior and exterior fresh water
tanks using both gravity fills, located at the drivers door post and the passenger side rear door post,
(190 models).
4. Turn on the water pump.
5. Open all three faucets one at a time, (hot and cold) until antifreeze is visible.
6. Open the toilet valve until antifreeze is visible.
7. Refer above to the water system winterizing NOTE, (190 models).
8. Turn off water pump.
9. Disconnect and drain the P-traps of the sink and aisle shower. Shower P-trap is located on the vehicle’s
underside to the rear of the waste water tanks.
10. Open the grey water valve and operate the macerator pump for several seconds to allow antifreeze to
pass through it. Then close the grey water valve.
To prepare your potable water system for use:
1. Drain the antifreeze from the fresh water system.
2. Sanitize the fresh water system if desired.
3. Fill the system with water.
