INFORMATION:
Household bleach is 5.25%
Sodium Hypochlorite.
Higher concentration will
increase PPM ratio.
Aqua-Hot:
The Aqua-Hot contains copper
tubing designed for fresh water
and winterizing solutions only.
Periodic ushing with other
common household chemicals,
including bleach, will have little or
no effect if thoroughly rinsed with
fresh water.
Failure of copper tubing,
especially soft or exible copper,
can result when materials other
than water or winterizing solutions
are allowed to reside inside the
piping for extended periods of
non-use. The most common cause
for failure is due to an extended
exposure to chlorine, solutions
containing chlorine (i.e. bleach).
CAUTION:
Do not use vinegar to
disinfect the water system.
Vinegar will deteriorate
the copper tubing inside
the Aqua-Hot domestic
water loop. Thoroughly
rinse chlorine bleach or
other concentrated chlorine
bearing chemicals as they
can also cause failure to the
Aqua-Hot domestic water
loop (copper tubing).
FAUCET SCREENS
Fresh water sources vary by
location. Build up of lime deposits,
or debris in the faucet screen, will
restrict or plug the ow of water
coming from the faucets. Should
the ow of water reduce, the lter
screen in the faucet head may be
clogged. Check faucet screens
when ow of water is reduced.
The bathroom faucet screen
is located on the outlet
side of the faucet and held
in place with a threaded
collar.
The kitchen faucet has
two screens, one located at
the faucet head, the other
where the hose attatches
to the faucet manifold
assembly. The hose must
be removed to access both
screens.
Clean screen using a small
soft brush and de-liming
solution.
Reinstall screen
and check water ow.
WATER SYSTEMS
Proper Waste Disposal
Dumping raw sewage from the
toilet holding tank is permitted
only at authorized dumping
stations. Most National, State and
private parks have either a central
dump facility or campsite hook-up
for sewage. Many modern rest
areas along the interstate now
have dump stations available.
Woodall’s Campground Directory,
Trailer Life’s RV Campgrounds
and Services Directory, Rand
McNally’s Campground and
Trailer Park Guide, Good Sam
Park Director (Good Sam Club)
and other similar publications list
dumping stations. Some major
oil companies also offer dump
facilities at select stations.
Do Not Put in Waste Holding Tanks
Do not use strong or full
strength detergents to
deodorize and disinfect.
Use odor control chemicals
made especially for holding
tanks.
Do not use automotive
antifreeze, ammonia,
alcohol or acetone in
holding tanks. These
products will dissolve
plastic.
Do not use standard
household tissue that
remains in one piece.
Specially designed
tissue for holding tanks
is available at most RV
supply stores. Facial
tissue is thicker, softer
and stronger than rapidly
dissolving tissue. White
toilet paper dissolves faster
than colored. To test tissue
dissolvability, immerse one
tissue square into a jar of
water. Shake the jar ve
times to determine how the
tissue disintegrates.
