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, using the Gravity Fill inlet
and an external container and hose.
15. Turn the pump switch ON. The gas valve on the water heater should be OFF.
(Located outside the trailer, if so equipped)
16. Run water through all hot & cold faucets. Include outside shower (if so
equipped) until chlorine smell is gone. Turn faucets and outside shower off,
turn pump OFF.
17. Drain the fresh water system again. (see Draining the Fresh Water
System).
18. Close bypass valve C, open valves A&B (Fig 8.6) on water heater (if so
equipped), remove clear plastic bypass tube at the water filter, and reinstall
the cartridge water filter. Refill the fresh water tank with fresh water again and
when water heater is full of water, turn the water heater gas valve ON, light
the water heater (following manufacturer’s instructions).
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.
NOTE This vinegar solution may damage the water heater or the water filter, so
both must be bypassed before continuing this operation.
Follow the steps outlined in Draining the Fresh Water System. Make sure the
water heater inlet valves (A&B) are closed so no water will enter the water heater
(if so equipped). Bypass valve C should be open. Remove the cartridge water filter
(if so equipped) and replace it with the clear tube (supplied). Turn the water heater
gas valve OFF. (Located outside RV, if so equipped)
After draining the system:
1. Water heater gas valve should still be OFF. Water heater valves A&B should
still be closed, valve C open.
2. Pour the vinegar solution into the Gravity Fill.
3. Fill the fresh water tank: Insert a (non-toxic) hose into the Gravity Fill inlet, the
other end of the hose should go into a container holding fresh water. Pour
water into the Gravity Fill until the tank is full.
4. Turn pump switch ON, and open all faucets including outside shower (if so
equipped).
5. Run water through hot/cold faucets and outside shower (if so equipped) until
the chlorine smell is gone.
6. Close all faucets including outside shower (if so equipped).
