JAYCO TOWABLE SECTION 8-PLUMBING SYSTEMS
Remove the hose and the container. (To aid in siphoning place the container
approximately 2 feet off the ground) Drain valves must be closed.
4. Run water through all faucets (hot & cold, including
outside shower) until chlorine smell is gone.
Set the valves to the DRY CAMPING setting. Turn
the pump ON to send water through the lines.
5. Close all faucets including outside shower. Turn pump OFF.
6. Drain the system again, but don’t drain the water heater. Do not remove water heater
drain plug (if so equipped).
7. Close low point drains and fresh water tank drain.
8. Refill the fresh water tank with clean potable water. Use the City Water Fill
Connection Inlet, and one of the two methods explained in Step 3 above.
9. Open faucets and check that the chlorine taste is gone.
10. Drain the system one more time (See Draining Fresh Water System)
11. Remove the clear tube and replace the cartridge filter (if so equipped). Or remove Full
System Canister, insert filter, and reattach canister to the mount.
12. Refill the fresh water system with clean water.
13. After filling the water tank, set the valves to either DRY CAMPING or CITY
WATER in order for water to flow through the water heater again.
SANITIZING THE PLUMBING SYSTEM (WITH 6 IN 1 UTILITY CENTER)
When to sanitize:
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.
Sanitizing Instructions
1. Turn both the electric and LP gas water heater switch(s) to OFF. Set the bypass
valves to bypass the water heater; valves A&B closed and valve C open (refer to
Water Heater Bypass Valves section).
2. Level the RV 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. Low point
drains for hot & cold water lines are located inside the basement access cover.
4. Full system canister water filter (if so equipped): remove the canister; take the filter
out of the canister, then reattach the empty canister.
5. Prepare a chlorine solution using 1/4 cup of household bleach (sodium hypochlorite
solution) 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.
If a 100-ppm concentration is required as discussed in step 12, use ½ cup of
household bleach with one gallon of water to prepare the chlorine solution. One
gallon of the solution should be used for each 15 gallons of tank capacity.
NOTE: Fresh water tank sizes vary by model; contact your dealer or Customer
Service for your specific tank size.
