Just waking up the RV from winter storage. I have charged the water system with shore connection and attempting now to sanitize the system by adding bleach and water to the fresh water tank and pumping thru the system. There seems to be a lot of air mixed with water at each faucet.I checked the valve at the water tank to make sure that it drawing from the water tank.Any suggestions?

I filled the water heater and charged the system with shore water connection so I could clean up inside.

I let the faucets run until the air is gone. Takes a while.

Agree with 2oldman, takes a while.

I agree. There always seems to be air in the lines when I change from using the water pump to shore water connection (or vice versa). I was never concerned. Just let it run until all the air comes out.

ALL that air in ALL of the plumbing lines and WH has to go some where.

Water filling WH and plumbing lines expels that air but due to turbulence the water also absorbs some of that air.

By the time your are done sanitizing and rinsing/flushing system the air should be gone.
