™ NOTE: To fill the fresh water tank without a pressurized water source, refer
to SANITIZE (Siphon Fill) section, and use a container holding fresh po-

the pump. There is no gravity fill inlet on the recreation vehicle.
Sanitizing the Plumbing System (with a storage tank water heater)
When to sanitize
When your RV is new.
At the beginning and end of each season.
When the water system becomes contaminated or every three months of use.
Preparing to sanitize
Prepare a chlorine solution using 1/4 cup of household bleach (sodium hypochlorite solu-
tion) 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 and should remain in system for at least 4 hours.
If a 100 ppm concentration is prepared, use ½ cup of household bleach with one gallon of
water. One gallon of the solution should be used for each 15 gallons of tank capacity. Allow
to remain in system for at least 1 hour.
™ NOTE: Fresh water tank sizes vary by model. Contact your dealer or cus-
tomer service for your specific tank size.
How to Sanitize
1.
Turn water heater power OFF (both electric and LP gas on standard storage water
heater). Set the colored valves to SANITIZE setting:
Blue handle pointing down
White handle pointing right
Red handle pointing up
Green handle pointing left
2.
Level the recreation vehicle and drain the fresh water system (see Draining the Fresh
Water System). Do not drain the water heater or remove the water heater drain plug.
3.
Close the low point drain valves and the fresh water tank drain valve.
Remove and bypass the water filter:
4.
Full System Canister water filter (if so equipped):
Turn water valves off at the canister. Remove the canister lid, take the filter out of
the canister, then replace the lid and turn the water valves back on.
Bypass the cartridge water filter (if equipped):
Use the clear plastic tube (supplied with RV) to bypass the water filter.
