Put the sanitizer solution in the fresh water tank. Place the end of the clear plastic tub-
ing (found inside the basement access panel or at the water pump) into a container of
chlorine solution.

Turn the black valve (at the pump) so it is pointing to the clear siphon hose. Turn the
white valve (at the pump) so it is pointing to the left toward the water tank line (as
shown in

Sanitize Tank & Country Fill

photo above).

Turn the water pump ON, and sanitizing solution is siphoned into the fresh water tank.
Tank drain valve must be closed to create a siphon.

Once the sanitizer is in the tank, finish filling it with fresh water. The tank may be filled

in one of two ways. It can be pressure filled using an external pressurized water source,

or it can be siphon filled using the clear plastic hose and a container of fresh water.

(The valves in the following two examples are located at the water pump)

To Siphon Fill:

Set the BLACK valve so it points to the clear hose. White valve points

left to the water tank. Put the clear hose in a container of fresh water and turn on the
pump. Check tank level by watching monitor panel LEDs inside the RV.

To Pressure Fill:

Turn the BLACK valve so it points to the pump strainer. Turn the

WHITE valve so it points left toward the water tank. Attach a pressurized water source
to the city water inlet on the utility center panel. Turn the blue CITY WATER/TANK
FILL lever on the utility center panel to the

FILL TANK

position (horizontal). Turn

on the water source and the tank will fill. Refer to the

Pressure Fill Tank

photo above.

Turn OFF the water source and remove the hose from the water source, then remove
the hose from the utility panel. Check the tank level by watching monitor panel LEDs
inside the RV.

10. When the tank is full, the two valves at the water pump must be set to the

NORMAL

position. Turn OFF water heater power (both gas and electric switches). Turn the
pump ON and sanitized water from the water tank will circulate through the water

lines in the RV (when a fixture is opened). The water heater valves should be set to

BYPASS

mode.

11.

Open all hot water faucets one by one until water begins to flow continuously and a

chlorine smell is noticeable. Include outside shower faucets (if so equipped). Also
include outside kitchen faucet also if equipped.

12. Close the hot water faucets and repeat opening all cold water faucets one by one until

you smell chlorine. Include outside shower faucets (if so equipped). Also include
outside kitchen faucet also if equipped.

13. Turn the water pump OFF.
14. Let the solution remain in the tank and lines for at least four hours when disinfecting

with 50-PPM residual chlorine. If a shorter time period is desired, then a 100-PPM
chlorine concentration should be permitted to sit in the system for at least one hour.

15. After sanitizing, drain the chlorine solution from the fresh water system. See

Draining

the Fresh Water System.

NOTE:

To thoroughly sanitize the fresh water tank, the unit should

be driven around for a short while allowing the solution to splash the

sides and top of the tank.
