Put the sanitizer solution in the fresh water tank. Insert one end of a hose (or funnel) in
the gravity fill inlet; insert the other end into a container holding the chlorine solution.
Do not use your non-toxic drinking water hose. Pour the chlorine solution into the
gravity fill.
8.
Remove the hose (or funnel) and container used to pour the chlorine solution, and con-
tinue filling the fresh water tank with clean (potable) water until tank is full. Pour fresh
water into the gravity fill inlet until tank is completely full. After the recommended
amount of sanitizing solution is in the tank, the water tank is full, and water filter has
been removed and bypassed, turn the pump ON which sends sanitizer into the water
lines.w
9.
Open all hot water faucets one by one until water begins to flow continuously and a
chlorine smell is noticeable. Include outside shower faucets (if so equipped).
10. Close the hot water faucets and repeat opening all cold water faucets one by one until
you smell chlorine. Include outside shower faucets (if swo equipped) and toilet.
11. Turn OFF the water pump.
12. Let the solution remain in the tank & lines for at least four hours when disinfecting with
50-PPM residual chlorine. If a shorter time is desired, then a 100-PPM chlorine con-
centration should be permitted to sit in the system for at least one hour.
NOTE: To thoroughly sanitize the fresh water tank, the unit should be
driven around for a period of time allowing the solution to splash the sides
and top of the tank
13. After the required period, drain the chlorine solution from the fresh water system.
Since the water heater was bypassed there should be no sanitizer in the (storage) tank
water heater.
Rinse the system with fresh water:
14. Fill the fresh water tank full of clean (potable) water. Fill fresh water tank from an
external container. Pour fresh water into the gravity fill inlet using a hose (or funnel).
15. Power to water heater should be OFF (both switches: electric & LP gas). When the
fresh water tank is full, turn the pump ON to send water through the lines. Water heater
bypass valves should still be set to BYPASS.
16. Run water through all faucets (hot & cold, including outside shower) until chlorine
smell is gone. Turn faucets and outside shower off, turn pump OFF.
17. Then, drain the fresh water system again (see Draining the Fresh Water System).
18. Set water heater bypass to NORMAL: Allows water into the water heater. Replace
the water heater drain plug.
19. Refill the fresh water tank with fresh water again and when water heater is full of water,
turn the water heater power ON. Pour fresh water into the gravity fill using a hose or
