ILLING THE
ATER
ANK
The water tanks are filled through a fill plate located
on the port deck walkway. Fill the tanks only from a
source known to provide safe, pure drinking water.
To fill your water tanks you should use a plastic
hose. Do not use a rubber hose; it can give the
water a disagreeable flavor. The hose should be
kept for filling use only. After using the hose it should
be emptied. Start at one end and raise the hose to
shoulder level and walk to the opposite end of the
hose, allowing the remaining water to flow out. You
should store your water tank filling hose in a clean
dry place. It is also a good practice to cover the
ends of the hose to keep the inside clean.

ANITIZING THE
ATER
Although your dealer initially sanitizes the water
system, if the system has not been used for a long
period of time, or you suspect it may be
contaminated, use a water treatment additive to
sanitize the potable water system. Water treatment
additives are available at marine/RV supply stores.
If water treatment additives are not available, adhere
to the following procedure for complete sanitation
of your potable water system.
1.
Prepare a chlorine solution using one (1) gallon
of water and one (1) cup Clorox or Purex
household bleach (5% Hypochlorite solution).
With tank empty, pour chlorine solution into
tank, using one (1) gallon solution for each sixty
(60) gallons of tank capacity.
