NOTE:
An independently operated water pump with garden hose connections and a container to
hold a prepared solution may be desired to perform this task.
Use the Following Procedure to Disinfect the Water System:
• Prepare a household chlorine bleach solution using 1 gallon water and ¼ cup of chlorine
bleach. Use 1 gallon of solution for every 15 gallons of tank capacity. Example: Add
2-2/3 gallons solution to a 40 gallon tank. Add 4-2/3 gallons solution to a 70 gallon tank.
Add 6-2/3 gallons to 100 gallon tank. This mixture puts a 50 ppm (parts per million)
residual in the water system. This concentration will act as a quick-kill dosage for
harmful bacteria, viruses and slime-forming organisms. Concentrations higher than 50
ppm may damage the water lines and/or tanks.
• Drain the fresh water tank. Look for the drain decal on the side of the recreational
vehicle. Close the drain. Pump the solution into the fresh water tank using an
independently operated pump and a garden hose. Turn the water pump on. Open each
faucet, in turn, and run the water until a distinct chlorine bleach odor is present. Do not
forget the hot water, tub and shower faucet.
• Allow the system to stand for four hours.
• Drain the system and flush with fresh water. Flush repeatedly, if necessary, until no
chlorine bleach taste or smell is left in the water system.

Proper Waste Disposal
Most State Parks have strict regulations about discharging wastes except into authorized disposal systems.
Dumping raw sewage from toilet holding tanks, except at authorized dumping stations, is universally prohibited.
Most National, State and private parks have either a central dump facility or campsite hook-up for sewage.
Many of the modern rest areas along the interstate now have dump stations available. A list of dumping stations
from coast to coast can be found in Woodall’s Campground Directory, Trailer Life’s RV Campgrounds and
Services Directory, Rand McNally’s Campground and Trailer Park Guide, Good Sam Park Director (Good Sam
Club), and other similar publications. Some major oil companies offer dump facilities at selected stations.
What Not to Put into the Holding Tanks
• Do not use strong or full strength detergents to deodorize and disinfect. Use odor control chemicals made
especially for holding tanks.
• Do not put automotive antifreeze, ammonia, alcohol or acetone in holding tanks. Some chemicals will
dissolve plastic.
• Do not put large table scraps in the tanks. They could stick in or damage the valve seals.
• Do not flush facial tissues, sanitary napkins or other non-dissolving items into the system. Chemically
treated for strength, the tissue will not dissolve like toilet paper. Special holding tank tissue is available at
most RV supply stores. White toilet paper dissolves faster than colored paper.
