Where is H20 drain plug located, how to purify?

Does anyone where the drain plug is located in an 1994 Allegro Bay Basement Model? I can't seem to find it. Would pouring a few drops of bleach be sufficient to sterilize it and how long does it need to sit? Been sitting here about close to a year in the upper dessert of New Mexico, not much algae here
Thanks

  • I use about a cup of bleach to 20-30 gallons of water in the tank. Run it through till you can smell bleach at the faucets. Let it sit a few hours or overnight. Drain, refill, reflush.
    You are trying to clean the system, so you need a significant amount of bleach. If you just wanted to make the water in the tank safe to drink, then a few drops per gallon will work.
  • Can you see your water tank? It is going to be someplace below the bottom of the tank. With my motorhome in the plumbing compartment you can see the drain pipe coming from the water tank with a valve on it and an elbow with the drain pipe going out the bottom.
