Low-Point Drains
Low-Point drains are placed on recreational vehicles to drain water
lines, tanks, and water heater to prepare coach for winterization and
sanitizing systems.
Fresh water supply tanks will have their own separate drains under
the floor and/or frame, with a valve to be opened to drain, over flow
drain line may be close by.
Plumbing lines also have Low-Point drains located in various areas.
You may find them (2) for hot and cold coming out of storage areas,
outer metal skirt, through under belly covers, control centers, etc.
Water should always drain out to the ground, not into underbelly
cover.
Sanitizing and Filling the Potable Water System
For your safety, you should sanitize your potable water system when
your recreational vehicle is new or when it has been sitting unused
for a period of time and it may have become contaminated.
Prepare a chlorine solution using 1/4 cup of bleach (5% sodium
hypochlorite solution) to one gallon of water. Prepare one gallon of
this solution for each 15 gallon capacity of the tank. As designed
and constructed, this method will sanitize the plumbing system.
POTABLE WATER ONLY. SANITIZE, FLUSH AND DRAIN
