Sanitizing Instructions:
* CAUTION: DO NOT USE FOR GAS AND/OR FUEL STORAGE *
To assure complete sanitation of your potable water system, it is recommended that the following procedures be used. This applies if it is a new system, one that has not been used for a period of time, or one that may have become contaminated.
- Prepare a chlorine solution using one gallon of water and 1/4 cup of Clorox or Purex household bleach (5% sodium hypochlorite solution). With tank empty, pour chlorine solution into tank. Use one gallon of solution for each 15 gallons of tank capacity.
- Complete filling of tank with fresh water. Open each faucet and drain cock until all air has been released and entire system is filled.
- Allow to stand for three hours.
- Drain and flush with potable water (IMPORTANT).
- To remove excess chlorine taste or odor which might remain, prepare a solution of one quart vinegar to five gallons water and allow this solution to agitate in tank for several days by vehicle motion.
- Drain tank and again flush with potable water (IMPORTANT).
The above recommendations conform to Section 10.8 in the A 119.2 code covering electrical, plumbing and heating of a recreational vehicle. The solution is approved and recommended by competent health officials.
