Water system problems and leaks usually fall into two categories: system
problems and problems caused by improper use or lack of attention. These
problems usually stem from improper winterizing, poor maintenance, road
vibration and campsite water pressure variations.
Check all plumbing connections for leaks at least once a year. If the water
pump runs when a faucet is not open, check for a water leak. Be sure the tank
drain valves are closed. If the system continues to leak take the motorhome to
an authorized dealer for service.
Disinfecting the water system with chlorine bleach (superchlorination) protects
against bacteriological or viral contamination from any common water source.
When to Disinfect the Fresh Water System:
• If the motorhome is new.
• If the motorhome has not been used in a long time.
• Every three months.
NOTE: An independently operated water pump with garden hose
connections and a container to hold the prepared solution can be
used to perform this task. The gravity fill may also be used to pour
the mixture into the fresh water tank.
