Tech Writer. Bleach is not good for the seals on your gates of the tanks . . .
Those gate seals are probably made of Santoprene which bleach (sodium hypochlorite) has little or no effect on. Same goes for your ABS plastic holding tanks and polyethylene water tanks.
I think many RVers "bleach fear" comes from polybutylene (or PB) plumbing that was used in houses and RVs from 1978 to 1995. Bleach caused PB plumbing to disintegrate..
