9. Open the hot water line on all the faucets (kitchen, lavatory, shower and outside shower)
until water begins to flow continuously and a chlorine smell is noticeable. Water will
not flow until a fixture is opened inside the RV.
10. Close the hot water lines and repeat with the cold water lines on the faucets. Turn water
pump OFF when finished.
11. Let the solution remain in the system for at least four hours when disinfecting with 50
PPM residual chlorine. If a shorter time period is desired, then a 100 PPM chlorine
concentration should be permitted to sit in the system for at least one hour.
12. After the required period, drain the chlorine solution from the fresh water system.
13. Fill the fresh water system using clean (potable) water until completely full. Put water
in the gravity fill inlet on the outside of the RV.
14. Then, drain and refill the fresh water system one more.
If a chlorine taste lingers in the water, flush the water system with a solution consisting of
one-quart vinegar to five gallons of clean water. Re-flush as necessary. The tank (storage
type) water heater must be bypassed. The vinegar solution should be kept out of the water
heater as it may damage it.
Winterizing (without a utility center)
Preparing your recreation vehicle for colder weather or storage is very important for most
states and Canada. Failure to prepare your RV may cause water supply lines and the water
heater to freeze. The RV should be winterized at the end of the camping season or when it
will be exposed to temperatures that will fall at or below 32°F (0°C). Repairs due to freezing
are not covered by warranty.

NOTE: For complete fresh water tank sanitization, driving your unit
around for a short distance will allow the sanitizing solution to splash
around all sides of the tank.
