Green water with city water hookup

[Embald2]

Hi! Occasionally when I flush toilet or run bathroom sink slightly green water will come out and then clear up rather quickly. There is no stored water in fresh water tank. Just curious if I need to sanitize water system? And how? New filter was put on less than two months ago. Thanks for any advice!

That doesn't sound right at all. Only the bathroom water? How old is the RV?

It does happen occasionally in the kitchen sink but not as often

Maybe some algae growing in the hose connecting to the RV.. found this: YUCK! There was green algae growing in the water hose we drink from!

I would definitely sanitize the hose and the rigs system. The easiest way is to buy an In Line Sanitizer. They are specifically for this purpose and only cost approximately $30. Otherwise 2 oz of bleach per 15 gallons of water works. Run it into all of the lines and let it sit for at least 4hrs then flush

I have looked up how to sanitize the hose but could you send me a link for a in line sanitizer that is good.. or please give me the specifics with the bleach
