Hi All
New here , i have a new to me 2007 Fleetwood Discovery . Unit's been sitting for a couple of years so filled the pot water tank and added bleach to sanitize the system . filled the tank and turned on the pump . trying to run all the faucets/taps to sanitize all the systems run water i all areas for 10 mins but still sputtering like there air in the system , it will not clear up . Where do i start trouble shooting ? THKS
 
Make sure the screen trap at the pump has prime. Sounds like the system is air locked. Just crack the trap bowl loose until water is coming out.
 
water heater bypass closed? I know it took a fair amount of time to fill the HW tank in my previous 5v'rs before it would stop sputtering
 
Is the tank/city water valve correct? Mine has to be on city for the pump to pressurize the tank and shut off.
 
Check valve position and make sue all tanks drains are closed . Also check the syphon port to insure capped. Hook hose up to fill valve and set to city water and see if you get water flow with water turned on.
