Please ensure you sanitize, flush and drain the water tanks before first use and after any period of storage. To maintain the
cleanliness of your potable water tanks please ensure you ONLY use water from a reliable source and that all water is flushed
from your potable water tanks after each trip or every two weeks when in use. Do NOT store water in the tanks for more than
two weeks. To drain your potable water system:
• Turn off the water pump
• On bottom of both potable water tanks is a drain plug. Open this plug to allow remaining water to gravity drain. Ensure
water is collected and disposed of in a responsible way.
• Open your faucet & shower to allow any residual water to drain. Close the faucets again.
• Ensure the drain plug is closed again before re-fill the tanks.
We strongly recommend sanitizing your potable water tanks at least once every six months. If you suspect an issue with the
quality of the water in your tanks or notice discoloration, odor or foul taste you should sanitize immediately. Always check
your potable water source and use a fill hose listed for use with potable water. To sanitize your potable water system:
• Flush all water from system as detailed above
• Use a potable water sanitizing product such as Camco TastePURE Spring Fresh Water System Cleaner
• Do NOT use bleach to sanitize the tanks as they are stainless steel and it will cause corrosion
• Follow the steps as directed on your potable water sanitizing product to fill, sanitize and purge as required.
To avoid damage to your water system caused by cold weather or during long periods of storage, please follow these steps
to winterize your water system:
WARNING! Do NOT use automotive antifreeze to winterize your potable water system as they are highly toxic and
ingestion may leave to serious injury or death
• Drain the water from your potable water system following the above steps.
• Flush the water tanks with RV winterizing fluid; please follow the instructions on the label carefully to determine the
correct dilution or amount of fluid to use.
• Using the water pump for both the front and rear tanks, run this winterizing fluid through the entire water system
including the faucets and shower as well. This will lubricate and protect your water pump and fittings during storage.
• DO NOT use the water pump to run your tanks dry. Instead run the pump to get some of this fluid through the system.
• After winter follow the steps above to purge the winterizing solution from your system (you may need to flush with water
several times) then sanitize your potable water system.
