How to Sanitize your Freshwater System
Like a stagnant summer pond grows algae and hatches mosquitos; the stale, wet confines of a freshwater tank can be a breeding ground for bacteria, protozoa, algae and mould. When you take your RV out of storage, we suggest you take time to sanitize your tank.
By not having clean drinking water, the chances of illness increase. Many enthusiasts use inline water filters and while they’ll remove sediment, chlorine, and some heavy metals, they often won’t prevent microorganisms from getting in. Serious contamination is easier than you may think. It only takes a careless moment by someone at the dump station to contaminate the freshwater fill hose or you could fill your tank somewhere before the boil water advisory becomes public.
