Keeping new fresh water tank clean
I just purchased a new TT and want to keep the fresh water tank clean and fresh for drinking. What is the best way to keep things from growing in it? Keep it full or empty? Flush it? Chlorine or other...

If you saw the inside of your city's water main, you would never worry about the water in your RV tank again. LOL.
When the water is treated in a city system, they make sure there is enough residual chlorine to take care of any critters that are in water tanks, slow mains, etc. That's what keeps it "pure". If you fill with city water you won't have a problem through the season.
In the Spring, you should disinfect your tank using one of the tweo the methods described in this website.
If you use well water, you can add a small amount of chlorine to your tank. This website has some interesting information about treating non chlorinated water that you would store
