Alert Guess I'm going to sterilize my fresh water tank

Another reason to add some bleach when filling up. I use about a cup for 75 gallons. Can't really smell it and it doesn't irritate bodies when showering, so it's kinda my routine. Lots of different opinions, but it works for us. We only use bottle water for consumption (coffee, drinking, cooking, etc.) Thanks for sharing. Blessings

we only drink/cook/dogs with bottled water, annually bleach sanitize, we use our bus 6 months out of the year, always use the tank/water pump combo, so it changes out every other day, doesn't sit in tank long

ew, crap...well I'm glad I've headed the warnings to use ONLY filtered water for my Neti-Pot rinsing! LORD knows I can't afford to lose any more brain cells. ha.

That said, I finally caved after 5 years with the same coach, which is now 10 years old.

I configured a real nice small filter housing, with my quick-connects, which holds the exact amount of bleach needed to sanitize my 143 gal fresh tank.

I've always wished I had a direct-fill cap, but actually, now I'm just as happy to not have one since with this setup, I'm able to flush the filler hose with bleach as well. I do NOT, however, let that bleach sit in the hose; making sure both-the housing and hose-are thoroughly flushed with fresh water before detaching. Pure bleach is a great way to buy yourself rubber products prematurely...ask how I found out at home! (Hint: bleach eats the heck out of a garbage disposer!)

If you listen to what the guy says it had nothing to do with drinking contaminated water from the rv. The tells us the ameba can not infect you by drinking the water.
She used that stupid device to directly put it into her sinus.

thats why we boil bottled water for the neti pot

Yep on the Neti pot water.

Saw the same story years back but it was water from the faucet in the individuals house.
