Exterior Shower - Airstream 2012 INTERSTATE Owner's Manual

at one faucet, the others should be opened long enough to expel the air in the
lines going to them.
Your plumbing system has a built in pressure regulator to protect your lines
and faucets from extremely high pressures on some city water systems. An
after-market external regulator is not recommended, as it could lower the water
pressure at the inlet and thus to your faucets and shower.
Sanitizing
Potable water systems require periodic maintenance to deliver a consistent
flow of fresh water. Depending on use and the environment the system is sub-
ject to, sanitizing is recommended prior to storing and before using the water
system after a period of storage. Systems with new components, or ones that
have been subjected to contamination, should also be disinfected as follows:
1. Use one of the following methods to determine the amount of common
household bleach needed to sanitize the tank.
A) Multiply "gallons of tank capacity" by 0. 13; the result is the
ounces of bleach needed to sanitize the tank.
B) Multiply "Liters of tank capacity" by 1.0; the result is the milliliters
of bleach needed to sanitize the tank.
2. Mix into solution the proper amount of bleach within a container of water.
3. Pour the correct amount of solution (water/bleach) into the freshwater tank
and fill with potable water.
4. Open all faucets (Hot & Cold) allowing the water to run until the distinct
odor of chlorine is detected.
5. The standard solution must have four (4) hours of contact time to disinfect
completely. Doubling the solution concentration will allow for contact time
of one (1) hour.
6. When the contact time is completed, drain the tank. Refill with potable
water and flush the plumbing of all sanitizing solution.
NOTE: The sanitizing procedure outlined above is in conformance with the ap-
proved procedures of RVIA ANSI A 119.2 and the U.S. Public Health Service.
