• Turn on the water pump in the motorhome.
• Open each faucet and run the water until you smell a distinct chlorine bleach odor.
• Turn off all faucets allowing the system to stand for four hours.
• Drain the fresh water tank of the mixed solution.
• Fill the water tank with fresh water. Thoroughly flush hot and cold lines with fresh water.
Repeat this process until the chlorine bleach smell is no longer detectable in the water sys-
tem.
• Install new water filter.
CAUTION:
If not properly and thoroughly rinsed, chlorine bleach or other concentrated chlorine
bearing chemicals can cause failure to the Aqua-Hot Domestic Water Loop (copper
tubing).
The Aqua-Hot copper tubing is rated for use with fresh water and winterizing solutions only.
Periodic flushing with other common household chemicals, including bleach, will have little or no effect
on the product if properly rinsed with the fresh water afterwards. Failure of copper tubing, especially
soft or flexible copper, can result if materials other than water or winterizing solutions are allowed to
reside inside the piping for extended periods of non-use. The most common cause for failure is due
to an extended exposure to chlorine, solutions containing chlorine (i.e. bleach) or hydrochloric acid.
CAUTION:
Do not use vinegar to disinfect the water system. Vinegar will deteriorate the copper
tubing inside the Aqua-Hot Domestic Water Loop.
FAUCETS
The kitchen faucet head has a flexible hose allowing the faucet head to be removed from the base.
O-rings seal the faucet head to the base preventing water from dripping into the cabinet. Push the slide
bar to select either stream or spray.
Should the flow of water reduce, the filter screen in the faucet head may be clogged. Fresh water
sources will vary by location. Build up of lime deposits, or debris on the faucet screen, will restrict or
plug the flow of water coming from the faucets. All faucet screens should be checked and cleaned
every two weeks of use.
