2. Complete filling of tank with potable water. Open each faucet and
run the water until a distinct odor of chlorine can be detected in the
water discharged. Do not forget the hot water taps.
3. Allow the system to stand for at least 4 hours when disinfecting
with 50 PPM residual chlorine. If a shorted time period is desired,
then a 100 PPM chlorine concentration should be permitted to
stand in the system for at least 1 hours.
4. Drain and flush with potable water.
Water Pump
The RV water pump is a 12-volt DC appliance
that is activated by a switch in the kitchen area
or on the monitor panel. The switch may be
left ON while camping. This is called a
demand system.
Turn the faucet on when you want water. The
pump will run only as long as needed. If the
pump fails when the switch is ON, check the
fuse located in the converter. If the pump
continues to operate whether the faucet is
open or closed, check the water tank to see if it
is empty and check to see if there is a leak in the system.
DO NOT RUN THE WATER PUMP WITHOUT WATER IN THE
SYSTEM. ALWAYS KEEP THE PUMP SWITCH OFF WHEN THE
SYSTEM IS EMPTY OR WHEN CONNECTED TO CITY WATER.
RUNNING THE PUMP DRY CAN DAMAGE IT AND VOID THE
WARRANTY.
Secondary Water Pump Switch (Optional)
Some vehicle models have a second water pump switch located in
the bathroom near the lav sink. This switch will turn on the water
pump whether the main water pump switch is on or off.
Winterizing the Water Pump
With the water drained from the potable water tank, disconnect the
water pump outlet hose and then turn the pump on to allow the
remaining water to be pumped out (less than one cup).
If you desire, you can blow out the water lines with compressed air
by opening al valves and placing the air nozzle into the system
where the outlet hose has disconnected. Replace pump hose.
