Yes the sanitizing directions are correct. It can all get a bit confusing but when the levers are in the sanitizing position water pumped in will not go into the alde hot water heater. It will only go into the fresh water tank. I've used this feature to put water into my tank when my alde is dry and nothing went into the alde. Now if you use the "power fill tank" to fill you water tank it will also fill your alde hot water heater as well. This is because the white lever is now verticle. This is how I fill my system before a trip to avoid pumping water from the tank into the alde when I switch to dry camping mode. When you are introducing fluid into the system from the outside hookup (whether from a bucket or a city connection) the white lever really controls where it goes first. If the white lever is horizontal it will not let water get to the alde. If the white lever is vertical then it will get into the alde, unless you do have the red lever horizontal (the final valve that allows or prevents water into the alde). I feel like I'm talking in circles here. It is confusing but you do not have to have the red lever horizontal if you have the other levers set properly in the "sanitize" mode. If you do have it turned horizontal to make yourself better then I suppose that is fine too, but not necessary.Polanskyster said:This morning I spoke to the person who wrote the Nautilus P3 manual at B&B Moulders. I was told that the sanitizing directions are NOT wrong. As long as the white lever is horizontal and the blue lever is vertical the bleach will bypass the Alde system when sanitizing. The direction of the red lever does not matter.
