SECTION 8-PLUMBING SYSTEMS JAYCO TOWABLE
NOTE: The Full System Canister must have the filter removed
Turn the pump ON which sends sanitizer into the water lines.
9. Open all hot water faucets one by one until water begins to flow continuously and a
chlorine smell is noticeable. Include outside shower faucets (if so equipped).
10. Close the hot water faucets and repeat opening all cold water faucets one by one until
you smell chlorine. Include outside shower faucets (if so equipped).
11. Turn OFF the water pump.
12. Let the solution remain in the tank & lines for at least four hours when disinfecting
with 50-PPM residual chlorine. If a shorter time period is desired, then a 100-PPM
chlorine concentration should be permitted to sit in the system for at least one hour.
NOTE: To thoroughly sanitize the fresh water tank, the unit should be driven
around for a period of time allowing the solution to splash the sides and top of the
tank.
13. After the required period, drain the chlorine solution from the fresh water system (see
Draining the Fresh Water System).
Rinse the system with fresh water:
14. Fill the fresh water tank full of clean (potable) water.
Fill fresh water tank from an external container. Pour fresh water into the inlet.
15. Power to water heater should be OFF. (both switches: Electric & LP GAS) When
the fresh water tank is full:
Turn the pump ON to send water through the lines.
16. Run water through all faucets (hot & cold, including outside shower) until chlorine
smell is gone. Turn faucets and outside shower off, turn pump OFF.
17. Then, drain the fresh water system again. (see Draining the Fresh Water System).
18. Water heater bypass valves (if so equipped): Close bypass valve C, open valves
A&B on water heater, replace water heater drain plug.
19. Refill the fresh water tank with fresh water again and when water heater is full of
water, turn the water heater power ON. Refer back to Step 14 above for instructions
on refilling the fresh water tank.
Lingering Chlorine Taste:
If a chlorine taste lingers in the water, flush the water system with a solution consisting of
one-quart vinegar to five gallons of clean water. Re-flush as necessary. The vinegar
solution may damage the water heater or the water filter, so both must be bypassed again
before performing this operation.
Follow the steps outlined in Draining the Fresh Water System with one exception, do not
drain the water heater. Water heater bypass valves (if so equipped), close valves A&B
and open valve C. Do not remove the water heater drain plug.
For the Full System Canister water filter: Remove the canister, take out the filter, then
reattach the empty canister.
After draining the system:
1. Water heater power should still be OFF. (both switches: Electric & LP Gas) Water
heater bypass valves (if applicable): A&B should still be closed, valve C open.
2. Pour the vinegar solution into the fresh water tank. Pour the vinegar solution into the
gravity fill.
3. Fill the fresh water tank full of clean (potable) water. Pour fresh water into the gravity
fill inlet.
