•• Open the galley sink, move the handle in the hot water direction, and run the water pump until water flows from hot water
tap at sink and you smell chlorine. The water heater holds six gallons, so it will take a while for it to fill up.
•• Allow the system to sit overnight.
•• Drain the fresh water tank completely, then fill it with clean water, and run all faucets for 2-3 minutes each. You will need
to run the hot water more than the cold to flush the hot water heater tank. Run the toilet a bit, too. To help get rid of the
residual chlorine smell, pour a half cup of vinegar into the fresh water tank, fill, let sit for a few hours, drain, and refill with
fresh water.
