It is a good idea to disinfect the potable water system
when entering long periods of storage or at the beginning
of your boating season.
Following is a suggested method in proper order to
accomplish system disinfection:
1. Flush entire system completely by permitting potable
water to ow through it.
2. Drain system completely.
3. Fill entire system with a chlorine solution having
a strength of 100 parts per million, and allow to sit
for one hour. Shorter time frames will require more
concentrations of chlorine solution. See the chart.
e chart below indicates how much disinfecting agent is needed to make up various quantities of 100 parts per
million chlorine solution.
