pawoodtx Report post Posted December 4, 2017 Would someone tell me if the water purification filter brand is a big deal? I have a Flow-pur 8-2 cartridge assembly. I went to the local rv dealer and paid $76 for what it looks like on Amazon I can get for about $17 a piece or $34. 2003 Monaco Windsor PST 40' Paul Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfe10 Report post Posted December 4, 2017 Thanks, Paul, And info on the two filters you asked us to compare. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pawoodtx Report post Posted December 4, 2017 Okay got it. WaterPur CCI-10-Ca-$38. Each rv store WaterPur CCI-10-CLW-2 pack for $16.95 (amazon) I'm guessing this may be a knockoff. Thanks Paul Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tireman9 Report post Posted April 23, 2018 What is the proper ratio of Bleach to water? 1 cup per 5 gal capacity?? 1 cup per 15 gal capacity ?? I have heard both. The Class-C was drained and had antifreeze over winter. Was drained but not flushed when I left campground after Perry in March. Want to sanitize and flush before I head out in 3 weeks.

wayne77590 Report post Posted April 23, 2018 Here is what my manual says for an 85 Gallon tank: Works for me and I have been doing it for many years. City Water Tank and Hose Disinfection This procedure can be used periodically to sanitize the city water hose, and can be used as an alternate method of adding bleach solution to the fresh water tank if desired. 1. Connect a water hose to the Fresh Water Inlet (located in the water service center). 2. Turn the Fresh Water valve to the Tank Fill 3. Remove the Full-Coach Water Filtration cartridge from the filter canister. Refit empty canister to filter head for procedure. (My Note: Disconnect any other filters, under sink, refrigerator - they make a bypass plug for the one under the sink.) 4. Hold the “city end” of the water hose upright and use a funnel to pour 1 1/2 cups of household chlorine bleach (sodium hypochlorite solution) into the hose. Keep the end of the hose held upright to avoid draining the bleach solution. 5. Connect the hose to a city water source and turn on slowly, allowing the water to force the bleach through the hose, then continue filling the tank with water. (This will disinfect the city water hose at the same time). 6. Let the system stand at least 4 hours when disinfecting with 50 ppm residual chlorine. If a shorter time period is desired, then a 100 ppm chlorine concentration should be allowed to stand in the system for at least 1 hour. 7. Drain the chlorinated water from the freshwater tank and refill with clean water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfe10 Report post Posted April 23, 2018 To Wayne's list, I would add: Be sure to use non-scented bleach. After bleach has been in the tank for an hour, turn on pump and open each faucet (both hot and cold) and run until you smell bleach. It will take awhile on the hot side because of the water heater. This will insure that all lines are disinfected as well. Sometimes takes a couple of rinses to remove chlorine smell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
