POTABLE WATER SYSTEM SANITIZING:
NOTE:
Water system must be in summer operation mode.
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 fresh water 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 the solution into the fresh water tank for each 60 L, (15 gallons) of the fresh
water tanks 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 with fresh water.
4.
Turn on the water pump and slowly open all faucet's to release trapped air until a steady stream of water
comes out of the faucets.
5.
Close all of the faucet's and allow to stand for 3 hours then drain and flush the fresh water system 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) of water and pour into the fresh water tank and allow the solution to agitate in the fresh
water tank by vehicle motion, (several days if possible).
7.
Drain the fresh water tank and flush with fresh potable water.
WATER SYSTEM WINTERIZING:

Water system must be in winter operation mode and the water heater must be in the by-pass mode.
To winterize your potable water system:

Drain the entire system including the water heater, (refer to water heater owners manual for instructions on
draining).
2.
Place water heater by-pass valves in the by-pass position to prevent the water heater from filling with
antifreeze.
3.
Add 8 L, (2 gallons) of approved nontoxic recreational vehicle antifreeze to the fresh water tank using the
fresh water gravity fill.
4.
Turn on the water pump.
5.
Open all three faucet's, (sink, shower, and the exterior shower) until antifreeze is visible.
6.
Open the toilet valve, (by pressing down on the toilet flushing pedal) until antifreeze is visible.
7.
Turn off the water pump.
8.
Remove the plug for the bathroom shower drain and fill the P-Trap with antifreeze.

Drain the antifreeze from the fresh water system.
2.
Sanitize the fresh water system if desired.
3.
Fill the fresh water system with potable fresh water.
