Bypass Mode
operation diverts the flow of
water around the water heater keeping water
out of the water heater. Hot water bypass
valve (B) should point away from water heat-
er and inline with the hot water output. Cold
water bypass valve (A) should point away
from the water heater and inline with the cold
water supply.
Sanitizing the Plumbing System
When to sanitize:
When your RV is new.
At the beginning and end of each season.
When the water system becomes contaminated or every three months of use.
How to sanitize
1.
Turn both the electric and LP gas water heater switch(s) to OFF. Set the 2-valve water
heater bypass to
BYPASS
. Refer to the
2-Valve Water Heater Bypass
section.
2.
Level the RV and drain the fresh water system. See
Draining the Fresh Water System.
3.
Close the low point drain valves and the fresh water tank drain valve. Low point drains
for hot and cold water lines are located inside the basement access cover.
4.
Full system canister water filter (if so equipped):
Remove the canister; take the filter
out of the canister, then reattach the empty canister. There may be water valves at the
canister to turn water off coming in to and leaving the canister filter.
5.
Prepare a chlorine solution using 1/4 cup of household bleach (sodium hypochlorite
solution) to one gallon (3.785 liters) of water in a container. Prepare one gallon of
solution for every 15 gallons of tank capacity. This will result in a residual chlorine
concentration of 50 ppm in the water system.
If a 100-ppm concentration is required, use ½ cup of household bleach with one gallon
of water to prepare the chlorine solution. One gallon of the solution should be used for
each 15 gallons of tank capacity.
NOTE:
Fresh water tank sizes vary by model; contact your dealer
or Customer Service for your specific tank size.
NOTE:
Valve E is the suction (syphon) valve that has the clear
hose attached to it for siphoning in antifreeze, sanitizer or fresh water
from an external container. Valve D (if equipped) is a shutoff valve
for the fresh water tank. Both valves are typically located at the
water pump
