A reminder for those who sanitize the water system.

According to my Winnebago manual, it is 1/4 cup bleach per 15 gallons of tank capacity.

Fill the tank, pump through all plumbing, including the water heater.

Let it sit 4 hours.

Drain, and flush with water.

If you double the amount of bleach, you can cut the sit time down to 1 hour.

    Any water including City Water will only hold a Chlorine Residual for a few days, then you have no protection. It is always a good idea to sanitize at the beginning of each season.


    This.

    Don't forget the hoses and water heater.

    Flush with plenty of fresh water.

    You won't have a lingering chlorine taste if you don't use way too much chlorine. Calculate correctly and measure it.
