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
sohtion
using
one
gallon of water
and
1/4
cup
of Chlorox
or
Purer;
household
bleach
(5%
sodium
hypochlorite solution).
Pour
one gallon of solution into tank
for
each
15
gallons
of
tank capacity.
2.
Complete
filling
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
water.
5.
To
remove
any
excessive chlorine taste or odor which
might
remain, prepare a solution
of
one quad
vinegar
to five gallons
water and allow this
solution
to agitate
in
tank for several days
by
vehicle
motion.
5.
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
Ib.
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.
("JMseries
have
a
5-gallon
jug.)
Use
a
hose to gravity
fill
the
water
tank.
An
overfiow
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.
