FRESH WATER TANK SANITIZING

Potable water systems require periodic maintenance to deliver a consistent

flow of fresh water. Depending on use and the environment the system is sub-

ject to, sanitizing is recommended prior to storing and before using the water

system after a period of storage. Systems with new components, or ones that

have been subjected to contamination, should also be disinfected as follows:

1. Use one of the following methods to determine the amount of common

household bleach needed to sanitize the tank.

A) Multiply “gallons of tank capacity” by 0.13; the result is the ounces of

bleach needed to sanitize the tank.

B) Multiply “Liters of tank capacity” by 1.0; the result is the milliliters of

bleach needed to sanitize the tank.

2. Mix into solution the proper amount of bleach within a container of water.

3. Pour the solution (water/bleach) into the tank and fill the tank with potable

water.

4. Open all faucets (Hot & Cold) allowing the water to run until the distinct odor

of chlorine is detected.

5. The standard solution must have four (4) hours of contact time to disinfect

completely. If you double the solution, this concentration allows for contact

time of one (1) hour.

6. When the contact time is completed, drain the tank. Refill with potable water

and purge the plumbing of all sanitizing solution.

Note: The sanitizing procedure outlined above is in conformance with the ap-

proved procedures of RVIA ANSI Al19.2 and the U.S. Public Health Service.
