OK - so I had a reply ready but then read Old-Biscuit's...
so: it makes sense BB-TX that after 5 years the alum/zinc was barely gone then it wasn't doing what it should be doing.
AND from SoundGuy yeah, I agree - better water in actually = "very expensive" per Old-Biscuit below you so that may be hard to correct.
so Old-Biscuit, just wondering what you think of BB-TX's info that the alum/zinc was barely gone after 5 years.
Yeah, I've read about the vinegar soaks too. I've also read that vinegar soaks after using chlorine bleach is a no-no, so I think I'll just leave it at the bleach and rinse it all a number of times.
and I'll check with the local RV dealers for opinions too, tomorrow morning, and then pop back in here to see if anything further has come in AND relay what's the most common advice I've found from the local suppliers.
Many thanks you all for your info/advice.. will weight it all with what I'll find tomorrow too.
