holding tank (if so equipped). This knob
turns 45° to open (or close.
2. Open the "low point drains" by turning,
then pulling the handles up. As their name
indicates, the valves will be at the lowest
point of water lines. A label may be placed
on the outside of the park trailer to
indicate where the drains are located. The
drains will typically need to be opened
from inside the trailer. Once the label is
found on the outside of the trailer, go
inside to find the corresponding location of
the drains.
3. Turn ON the water pump
and allow it to run as
needed.
4. If so equipped, operate
the toilet flush lever until
water stops flowing.
5. Be sure your
heater bypass valve(s) are open.
6. Drain the water heater.
Atwood gas/electric water heater only:
Relieve the water pressure using the P&T
valve BEFORE removing the water heater
drain plug. Otherwise, if there is any
water pressure present the water will
spray out of the opening when the drain
plug is removed.
Rheem electric water heater: Drain the
water heater by (1) closing the water
heater bypass mixer valve, (2) opening
the water heater bypass cold water valve,
(3) open a hot water line (i.e., kitchen
faucet), (4) Open the relief valve on water
heater and (5) opening the low point
drains.
When you are finished draining the fresh
water system, reverse these steps and, if so
equipped, dump the grey and black water
holding tanks at an appropriate facility or
according to local public codes.

Failure to sanitize the potable water

maintenance to deliver a consistent flow of
fresh water. For your personal safety, the
plumbing system should be sanitized when
your park trailer is new, at the beginning and
end of each season and when the water
system becomes
approximately every three months of use).
Chlorine is poisonous. Always recap the
household bleach bottle and clean utensils
and containers after use.
How to sanitize with a water pump (if so
equipped)
1. Level the park trailer and drain the fresh
water system.
2. Close the drain valves.
3. Prepare a chlorine solution using 1/4 cup
of household bleach (sodium hypochlorite
solution) to one gallon (3.785 liters) of
water in a container. Prepare one gallon of
solution for every 15 gallons of tank
capacity. This will result in a residual
chlorine concentration of 50 ppm in the
water system.
If a 100-ppm concentration is required as
discussed in step 9, use ½ cup of
household bleach with one gallon of water
to prepare the chlorine solution. One
gallon of the solution should be used for
each 15 gallons of tank capacity.
4. Pour the chlorine solution into the Gravity
Fill.
5. Continue filling the fresh water tank with
clean (potable) water until it is full.
6. Turn the water heater bypass valves to
the NORMAL position.
