system, one that has not been used for a period of
time, or one that could have become
contaminated.
This procedure is also recommended before
long periods of storage, such as over winter.
Disinfecting with Gravity Fill
1. Prepare a chlorine solution using 1 gallon of
water and 1/4 cup of household chlorine
bleach (sodium hypochlorite solution). With
tank empty, pour chlorine solution into the
tank through the gravity fill port.
Use 1 gallon solution for each 15 gallons of
tank capacity. This procedure will result in a
residual chlorine concentration of 50 ppm in
the water system.
NOTE: If a 100 ppm concentration is desired,
use 1/2 cup of household bleach with 1
gallon of water to prepare the chlorine
solution. One gallon of this solution
should be used for each 15 gallons of
tank capacity.
WA RNING
Chlorine is poisonous. Do not misuse.
Recap bottle and clean all utensils after
use.
2. Complete filling of tank with fresh water.

detected in the water discharged. Do not
forget the hot water faucets.
6. Let the system stand at least 4 hours when
disinfecting with 50 ppm residual chlorine. (If
a shorter time period is desired, then a 100
ppm chlorine concentration should be
allowed to stand in the system for at least 1
hour).

water.
