PLUMBING
draining the bleach.
Connect the hose to a city water hydrant to force
the bleach into the tank and fill the tank with
water.
This method has the additional benefit of
disinfecting the city water hose at the same time.
Continuous Tank Disinfection
(Superchlorination)
Some RVers like to ensure continuous
sanitation of their fresh water tank by
"superchlorination"– maintaining an effective
low level of chlorine in the tank at all times.
•
Add 1 teaspoon of household chlorine bleach
(sodium hypochlorite) to your tank for each
10 gallons of tank capacity. When you fill the
tank, this will result in a 6.7 ppm level of
chlorine, which should kill harmful bacteria
and slime-forming organisms.
•
Chlorine may be removed from drinking
water by the cold water filter at the galley
faucet (if equipped) or by installing an
activated carbon water purifier at the galley
sink cold water line or a separate drinking
water faucet with filter.
•
Superchlorination does not affect city water
usage, only the fresh water tank.
