How long can leave bleach water in system?

Question

I usually camp once a month, so once I de-winterize, I never really worry about water being left in my TT...I typically drain the tanks and the hot water heater and that's it.

This year, I had a bike accident during our first trip for the summer and have not been out since. We plan to hit it again this september...Is it ok to leave a little bleach water in the system from now and when I get ready to use it? How long is too long?

I plan on flushing it and rinsing before we head out...

Thanks!

No worries. It will eventually neutralize.

I've never heard of any problems.  Be sure to rinse the system thoroughly and make sure there is no bleach smell left.  Remember the outside shower.  You should be fine.

I had recently bleached our stick and tin well. I used 2.5 gallons for the 350ft deep well.   It took 5 days of flushing to get rid of the manganese reaction, but was effective in killing the stench making bacteria.

Leave it in there forever if you want.

I pour bleach in the black water tank between trips to reduce any odor.
