It depends.....or the age of the tank and the length of storage and the climate. I would not trust water left in the tank for 6 months over a Florida summer, for instance.
But I don't put my tank water in my mouth so I don't care.
Even then I dump most of it and refill before each trip if it's been sitting a month or more. City water. Noticeable chlorine residue. - BusskipperExplorer

How long do you store CITY fresh water in the fresh water tank before you get concerned?

JMHO, - eHoeflerExplorer III am on my own well, When I de-winterize, I sanitize my fresh water system. After flushing out the plumbing and draining the tank, I fill the tank diluting the residual chlorine in the tank. I use the water through out the year when stopping on our routes and refilling the RO syestme. Never had any problems.

A lot depends on weather you have well water (untreated) or city water(treated). I have city water and don't worry about it. I dry camp mostly so I use it and fill it when I need to so it does not sit all year. The water sits in the tank for maybe 4 weeks between use.
Good point! It's city water. I edited the post. - GjacExplorer IIIA lot depends on weather you have well water (untreated) or city water(treated). I have city water and don't worry about it.
