ANITIZING THE
If the fresh water system has not been used for some
time, or if you suspect that it has been contaminated,
then it should be sanitized. Your marine dealer may
have a water treatment additive that can be used to
sanitize the system. Follow the instructions provided
with the additive.
If a water treatment additive is not available, the
following steps may be followed to sanitize the
water system:
1. Pump the water tank empty. Shut OFF the Fresh
Water Pump breaker.
2. Determine the capacity of your water tank (your
standard water tank holds 28 gallons (106
liters)). You will need approximately one (1)
gallon of weak bleach solution for each fi fteen
(15) gallons of tank capacity.
3. Prepare the proper amount of a weak bleach
solution by mixing 1/4 cup of unscented
household chlorine bleach per gallon of water.
4. Pour weak bleach solution into the water tank.
Remember, use about one (1) gallon of weak
bleach solution for each fi fteen (15) gallons of
tank capacity.
5. Fill the remainder of the tank with fresh, clean
water. This will further dilute the weak bleach
solution.
6. Switch ON the Fresh Water Pump breaker,
then turn on the faucets and allow the air to be
exhausted from the plumbing system. By doing
this, the entire fresh water system will be fi lled
with a sanitizing solution.
7. Allow the sanitizing solution to stand in the water
system for three (3) hours.
8. Pump the water tank empty.

9. Fill the water system completely with fresh, clean
water. Turn on the faucet and permit the entire
contents of fresh, clean water to run through the
system. This will fl ush the sanitizing solution out
of the plumbing.
10. Fill the water system again, with fresh, clean
water, and turn on the faucet to permit the air
to dissipate.
Your water system is now sanitized.
