How do you sanitize your fresh-water tank and lines?

I use sodium dichlor 1 teaspoon per 100 gallons. No bad taste or smell.

What does sanitizing your waste tanks have to do with sanitizing your fresh water tank? I think for most of us, we don't put poop in our fresh tanks. And a product that breaks down poop is probably not going to kill mold.

Somebody found a link to the wrong product and didn't realize it was for the black tank instead of the fresh water tank.

haha the only one I didn't look at

The one you linked to is for black and gray tanks. None of them state they are or frest water tanks. And again, what works to break down/cleangray and black tanks is not going to do anything for mold/algae in a fresh water tank.

Yes. That is exactly what I said when I posted it originally.

1. There was a discussion of fresh water tank treatment.
2. Someone posted that the ingredients of the product they found were "viable non pathogenic bacteria suspension" and asked how that worked.
3. Others posted that they couldn't find that product.
4. I found that product and posted it so everyone would know what he was talking about.
5. Someone posted that he couldn't find where it said it was for the septic system, or where the MSDS said "viable non pathogenic bacteria suspension."
6. I then posted focusing on "septic system" and "viable non pathogenic bacteria suspension."

Captain Phab contains "Viable non pathogenic bacteria suspension". What's that? How does it work?

All it means is they are using bacteria to break down waist components in the septic tank treatments, and that the bacteria are not harmful to us, only the waist components. kind of like the ones they use to break down oil.

This is the one referenced. I see nothing regarding sanitizing, only odor control. The price looks right.:)

This is the product that has "viable non pathogenic bacteria." This is for the black tank. The bottle even says it is for the septic system.

Captain Phab Advanced Enzyme Holding Tank Treatment

And, here is the MSDS.
