tank is clean, drain after each trip. Sanitize the tank when new,
whenever contamination is suspected, or whenever it has not been
used for a long period of time.

Sanitizing the Water Tank
As approved by the U.S. Public Health Service
To assure complete disinfection of your potable water system, it is
recommended that the following procedures be followed on a new
system, one that has not been used for a period of time, or one that
may have been contaminated. This procedure is also
recommended before long storage periods such as over the winter.
1. Prepare a chlorine solution using 1 gallon of water and
¼
cup of
household bleach (sodium hypochlorite solution). With tank empty,
pour chlorine solution into the tank. use 1 gallon solution for each
15 gallons of tank capacity. This procedure will result in a residual
chlorine concentration of 50 PPM in the water system. If a 100
PPM concentration is required as discussed in item 3, use
½
cup of
household bleach with 1 gallon of water to prepare the chlorine
solution. One gallon of the solution should be used for each 15
gallons of tank capacity.
