PLUMBING
SYSTEMS
Sanitize the fresh water tank and piping approximately every
three months, and whenever the motor home sits for a pro-
longed period. This will discourage the growth
of
bacteria and
other organisms that can contaminate the water supply. Use a
chlorine/fresh water rinse as follows:
1.
Prepare a solution of
'I,-cup
household liquid chlorine bleach
(5% sodium hypochlorite) to one gallon of water for each 15
gallons
ofiank
capacity.
2.
Close drain valves and faucets, pour the chlorine solution into
the exterior fresh water tank
filler spout, and complete filling
with fresh water.
3.
Turn water pump switch ON. (Se sure you have 12-volt DC
power.)
Open all faucets individually until water flows steadily,
then turn them off. This
will purge any air from the lines.
4.
Top
off water tank with fresh water and wait three hours.
5.
Drain the entire system by opening all fresh water tank
valves, faucets, and plumbing line drain valves.
6.
Flush the system with drinking quality water. Let the fresh
water
flow through the system for several minutes to flush out
the
chlorine solution.
7.
After you stop the flushing, close the tank valve, faucets, and
drain
valves.
You
can now fill the tank with fresh water, and
the system
is
ready to use.
A shower fixture
is
mounted in the exterior utility compart-
ment. The water pump must be
ON or city water pressure
must be available for the shower to operate.
