INITIAL FRESH WATER SYSTEM
STARTUP
1. Fill the fresh water tank with approximately 15 gallons of potable water.
2. Turn the FRESH WATER PUMP breaker "ON."
3. Open the wet bar faucet to allow air to escape. Close the faucet when a
steady flow of water is apparent.
4. Bleed air from the remainder of the faucets, showers, etc., in the same
manner as step 3. After all lines have been bled, the pump will build to
operating pressure and then shut off.
5. You may now continue to fill the tank to its capacity.
The fresh water pump works on demand and WILL NOT automatically
shut-off when the tank is empty. If the breaker switch is in the "ON"
position, and the tank is empty, the pump will run continuously and
may overheat.
FRESH WATER SYSTEM
MAINTENANCE
The following maintenance actions should be performed monthly to keep
the fresh water system clean and sanitary:
• Drain the fresh water tank completely (using all faucets, showers, etc.).
Refill tank with at least 15 gallons of clean, fresh water and drain again.
• Clean fresh water pump inlet filter screen (if equipped).
• Replace fresh water system filter(s) (if equipped).
SANITIZING THE FRESH WATER
SYSTEM
If water in the tank has been allowed to stagnate and you suspect that the
fresh water system may be contaminated, sanitize the system. To sanitize:
1. Drain the fresh water tank completely (using all faucets, showers, etc.).
2. Mix a solution of 1/4 cup household bleach to 1 gallon of water for every
15 gallons of tank capacity. Pour the solution into the fresh water tank.
3. Fill the tank with clean, fresh water.
4. Turn fresh water pump "ON" and bleed air from all faucets, showers, etc.
