19. The water system is now sanitized for use. If the system has a strong chlorine odor
or taste, refer to the following information to eliminate this.
To Remove Excess Chlorine Odor and Taste:
1. In a large bucket, prepare a solution of 1/2 cup baking soda to one gallon (4 liters)
of water for every 15 gallons (60 liters) of tank capacity.
• Repeat steps 3-10 from above.
2. Allow the baking soda solution to sit in the tank for a few days, if possible. If you
can have the soda in the tank while traveling, it will work better to clean and
refresh the tank from the agitating motion.
• Repeat steps 12-18 from above.
Non Basement Sanitizing
Your unique water system has a specific valve layout to complete the sanitizing process.
Determine which table of information applies to your unit. Utilize the water line drawing
found in the “Setting up Camp...” chapter to locate the valves. After properly setting up the
valves to sanitize the system, follow the procedure listed to complete the process. Read,
understand and follow all instructions supplied to sanitize the water system. If you have
further questions, consult with your independent, authorized dealer.
