Re: [VAC] yucky water
When I bought my 65 tradewind I desided that before I used the trailer I had
to best clean the tank and hot water htr. I used4 gal of swiming pool clorine
in thewater tank I than filled it and turned a air hose on in it at low
volium for an hour. You would not believe the discusting stuff that came out
of the fawcets when I ran the pump. I had to fill the tank several times and
pump it dry before I got good ckean water.
I have since installed a large (home use) charcole filter in the water line
with check valves so all water goes through it wheather I am using from the
storage tank or outside source. Also I have installed the 2nd filter to
replace the one under the sink so that drinking water has to go through 2
charcole filters. I also have 1 filter that is portable so if I have to fill
the storage tank from a unkown source I can filter it befori it goes into the
storage tank.
