Disinfecting the drinking water tank
Even if you trust your municipal water supply, air, heat and moving water quickly dissipate
the chlorine remaining in the system. This results in water in an enclosed space that
remains stagnant, despite use of a pump to empty it from time to time.
This situation can promote the growth of micro-organisms, making the water non-potable
by producing a decline in quality and the formation of algae in the water tank and pipes.
To avoid this problem, youmust maintain a quality drinking water system, properly treat the
water stored in your tank, and install a water purification system if necessary.
As a preventive measure, we suggest that you not drink large amounts of
water that have circulated in your RV’s plumbing.
HINTS AND TIPS
Do not leave your trailer unattended for an extended period with
municipal water connected and pressurized. Turn it off when the trailer is
left unattended. A water pressure regulator is recommended, to respond
to a sudden change in pressure from the supply source that might
damage your water system.
