How much hydrogen peroxide per 10 gallons of water?

Are you asking to sanitize the system? The bleach method is good for that. Purifying the water for a shower? For drinking, I just run my tank water through a PUR filter.

His home water doesn't likely sit in a small tank.

1/4 cup of bleach per 15 gallons of water. Let sit 3+ hours, drain, refill with water, drain again

I'm sure you mean the potable tank and not the holding (black) tank.

The best and simplest way is to dump the tank as refill it with city water that has a chlorine residual. If you live on your own well, just talk to a friend that has city water.

Dumping in bleach is a real bother because you will probably get too much and then the water will "swimming pool" for a few fills.

Where did you fill it from?
