FOR
SANITIZING POTABLE
WATER
SYSTEMS
OF
RECREATIONAL
VEHICLES
To assure complete sanitation of your potable water system, it is
recommended that the following procedures be followed on a new
system, one that has not been used for
a
period of time, or one
that may have become contaminated.
1.
Prepare a chlorine solution using one gallon of water and
1/4
cup of Chlorox or Purex household bleach
(5%
sodium
hypochlorite solution). Pour one gallon
of
solution into tank
for each
15
gallons of tank capacity.
2.
Complete tilling
of
tank with fresh water. Open each faucet and
drain cock until all air has been released from the pipes and
entire system
is
filled.
3.
Allow
to
stand for three hours.
4.
Drain and flush with potable fresh wa.ter.
5.
To remove any excess.de chlorine taste or odor
which
might
remain, prepare a solution of one quart vinegar to five gallons
water and allow this solution to agitate in tank for several days
by vehicle motion.
6.
Drain tank and again flush with potable water.
FRESH
WATER
SYSTEM
Fresh
water can be supplied to pump from two methods, either
from direct city water hook-up
or
from
a
fresh water tank.
A water hose from city water connection to supply faucet needs
to
be installed. Press handle on hand pump down and hold to receive
water.
We
recommend that a
35
lb. water pressure regulator be
used (optional) to control pressure and insure safety of system.
Some campgrounds have high water pressure of
100
P.S.I.
and
over.
A
10
or 15-gallon water supply
tank
is
provided
in
most models.
(Flight
series have a 5-gallon
jug.)
Use a hose to gravity
fill
the
water tank. An overflow hose is supplied and connected
to
the
tank.
To pump water,
lift
handle
and
down again, repeatedly to
obtain
a
pumping type effect. This will draw water after about
3-5
times. Continue to pump until desired
supply
has been reached.
