Now, many RVers don&#8217;t even think that you can really pull a glass of water from the tap, but not this one. In fact, did you know that fresh, drinkable, potable H2O doesn&#8217;t only come from bottled water, but can come right from your RV&#8217;s &#8220;fresh water&#8221; tank? Think of how much money and space you&#8217;ll be saving by just relying on your RV&#8217;s fresh water source for your drinkable\u00a0 and potable water. Of course, in order to have a storage system for truly &#8220;fresh water&#8221; you have to thoroughly sanitize your RV&#8217;s water system. Now, this isn&#8217;t something that is hard to do, in fact, it&#8217;s quite easy. However, there are numerous steps involved to achieve successful fresh water tank sanitation.<\/p>\n<p>Click on the video below for very clear and concise, step by step instructions on how you can perform this yourself:<\/p>\n<p>Items you&#8217;ll need are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 Gallon pitcher<\/li>\n<li>measuring cup<\/li>\n<li>bleach<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kOlPwmwlaMo\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-158\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2013-12-16 at 12.44.54 PM\" src=\"http:\/\/www.funtownrv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2013\/12\/Screen-Shot-2013-12-16-at-12.44.54-PM-300x183.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"183\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As you&#8217;ll no doubt agree, having a well sanitized and clean fresh water tank on board your RV is a must have. The only way that you can guarantee its cleanliness is by tending to it routinely and thoroughly. It doesn&#8217;t take very much time for mold to start to develop, so I recommend that you do this process every 3 months or so. Some wait longer, some do it more often, 3 months is just a recommendation. Of course, if you&#8217;ve winterized your RV then there&#8217;s no need to really do that much. However, when your RV season starts back up, you are going to be thanking yourself that you&#8217;ve kept your fresh water tank bacteria free.<\/p>\n<p>How often do you clean and sanitize your RV&#8217;s fresh water tank?
