purge facets

Want to let you know that I missed a step in setting up at a rv park .I forgot to run the water at the hose bib hookup , and an earwig must have been getting a drink when I screwed on the hose .Well it impeded the water flow to the toilet , by ending up in the flush valve . So $37 bucks and about an hours fun latter . Be sure your water hose bib and your hose are clear of bugs

    Wait what about the strainer screen?
    don't you have one

  • I purge the faucet, then I purge my hose, then I inspect the RV hose fitting, then spray bleach on all of those. Yes, I have screens as Darsben suggested.
  • Thanks for the heads up. I will start running water before I hookup the fresh water hose. Jim2007
