Section 8: Plumbing System
53
NOTE: When putting the shower assembly back into the storage compart-
ment, make sure the hose is not pinched or the showerhead is positioned in a
way it can be damaged.
Sanitizing the Plumbing System
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.
Preparing to sanitize
Prepare a chlorine solution using 1/4 cup of household bleach (sodium hypochlorite solu-
tion) 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 and should remain in system for at least 4 hours.
If a 100 ppm concentration is prepared, use ½ cup of household bleach with one gallon of
water. One gallon of the solution should be used for each 15 gallons of tank capacity. Allow
to remain in system for at least 1 hour.
NOTE: Fresh water tank sizes vary by model. Contact your dealer or cus-
tomer service for your specific tank size.
How to Sanitize
1.
Set the colored valves to
SANITIZE
setting (refer to the Utility Center label for valve
configuration).
2.
Level the recreation vehicle 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.
4.
Remove and bypass the water filter:
Bypass the cartridge water filter:
Use the clear plastic tube (supplied with RV) to bypass the water filter.
NOTE: Filters should be replaced at the beginning of the camping season
or if they have been exposed to contaminated water, sanitizer or antifreeze.
5.
Attach a short section of garden hose to the CITY WATER inlet at the utility center.
DO NOT use your fresh water hose for sanitizing.
6.
Insert the other end of the short hose into a container holding the chlorine solution.
7.
Turn the pump switch ON (red LED will light). The solution will be drawn into the
fresh water tank. Turn the pump OFF when solution has been drawn into the tank. To
aid in siphoning, set the container on a surface approximately (2) feet off the ground.
The drain valves must be turned OFF.
8.
Disconnect the short hose from the CITY WATER inlet. Leave the colored valves in
the SANITIZE position.
Power Fill Water Tank
Attach your fresh water hose to the CITY WATER inlet at the utility center. Con-
nect the other end of the hose to a pressurized water source. Turn the water on and
finish filling the water tank with fresh water. DO NOT OVERFILL THE TANK!
Siphon Fill Water Tank
If there is no pressurized water source available, fresh water can be siphoned into
the water tank from an external container (bucket). Fresh water hose should be
connected to the CITY WATER inlet, other end of the hose placed in the bucket of
water. Colored valves should still be in SANITIZE position. Turn the pump ON
and water will be siphoned into the tank.
DO NOT OVERFILL THE TANK
