WATER SYSTEMS
Troubleshooting
If the water pump cycles after closing the
faucets, drain valves and inlet valves, a leak
040520b
may be present. At this time check for leaks
around fittings, valves, filters and connections
of the hot and cold water system. If problems
continue, take the motorhome to an authorized
dealer for repair.
Disinfecting Fresh Water
Disinfecting the water system with
household bleach (superchlorination) protects
against bacteriological or viral contamination
from common water sources.
Disinfect the fresh water system:
If the motorhome is new.
If the motorhome has been in storage.
Every three months during use.
NOTE
Use the gravity fill to perform this
task. Remove cap from the gravity
fill. Add the solution. When finished,
secure the gravity fill cap.
Gravity Fill Location:
For floor plans 41 SKQ and 41 DFT gravity
fill is located in a roadside compartment. For
floor plan 38 PKQ, gravity fill is located in the
roadside water service center.
Procedure:
Remove the water line connections and
connect the bypass hose to the water
lines on water filter (See "Water Filter").
Prepare a household chlorine bleach
solution of 1 gallon water and ¼ cup
of chlorine bleach. Use 1 gallon of
solution for every 15 gallons of tank
capacity. This mixture puts a 50 ppm
(parts per million) residual in the water
system, and acts as a quick-kill dosage
for harmful bacteria, viruses and slime-
forming organisms. Concentrations
higher than 50 ppm may damage the
water lines and/or tanks.
Turn the water pump OFF.
Close the water heater bypass valve to
ensure none of the prepared disinfecting
solution enters the water heater. Refer
to the water heater OEM instructions on
flushing the water heater.
Drain the fresh water tank. Close the
drain.
Pour the solution into the gravity fill
inlet using a funnel.
Top off the fresh water tank with fresh
water.
Turn the water pump ON.
Open each faucet, in turn, and run the
water until there is a distinct chlorine
bleach odor. DO NOT forget both
interior and exterior faucets and
showers.
