12.1.8 DISINFECT WATER TANK
1. It is recommended that fresh water systems be disinfected:
a. When the system is new and has not been used before.
b. When it's been in storage for a long period of time.
c. In case it has become contaminated.
2. Disinfection instructions:
a. Pour about one cup household bleach (1/4 cup per 15 gallons of water capacity) into an empty garden hose and
hook up the hose to the city water connection.
b. Fill the tank with fresh water. Run water from each faucet, hot and cold, until you detect a chlorine odour.
c. Leave this solution in the system for at least 4 hours. If you wish to complete this procedure in 1 hour, double the
concentration of household bleach in your solution.
d. After the time has elapsed, drain and ush the system with fresh water.
12.1.9 EXTERNAL WATER SUPPLY
The external water source will supply your water system with water at city pressure when
the water pump is switched o.
1. Connecting:
a. Turn water pump switch to o.
b. Attach garden hose to city water connection. Turn the water selector valve to city water.
c. Turn on external water supply.
IMPORTANT
After connecting to the external water supply, open the faucets slowly and cautiously. Air trapped in the line can cause
the water to splash into the sink. You may want to drape a wash cloth over the faucet to prevent excessive splashing.
2. Turn the water heater by-pass valves to normal use to allow water to enter the hot water heater. Water from the external
supply is prevented from entering the fresh water tank by means of a check-valve in the water pump.
IMPORTANT
Some campgrounds have an excessively high water pressure which can cause problems.
It is a good idea to get a pressure reducer from your RV center and attach it to
your incoming external water supply hose to ensure safe pressure for your unit.
3. Disconnecting:
a. Turn o the external water tap.
b. Relieve water pressure on the line by opening a faucet.
c. Disconnect hose from the motorhome.
d. Replace the protective plug back over the water connection.
