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.
On slide outs containing kitchens will have flexible hoses installed
on both fresh water lines and drain lines. Make sure there are no
obstructions to prevent free flow preventing leakage and full flow.
Drainage (Fresh Water)
All permanent fresh water tanks can be drained. The type of drain
used is a turn valve with open/close position. This valve is located
under the floor underbelly.
To drain the supply lines and the entire system, you need to follow
the steps listed below. Locate the valve placed at the floor level or
close to the floor, found under the dinette, storage cabinet, and sofa.
These valves will be at the “lowest” point of the water lines.
To drain system:
1. Open all faucets including optional exterior spray port.
2. Open the fresh water tank drain.
3. Open the water heater drain.
4. Open all (two to four) low-point drains.
5. Open the toilet valve, hold or block if need be.
6. To empty the pump, start and allow to run up to 20 seconds.
