How to sanitize fresh water holding tank

June 28, 2001, 10:45:46 am

I have a question about the fresh water holding tank. According to the manual, I can sanitize with bleach. That part seems clear, but then the manual says use 1 quart of vinegar for each 5 gals of capacity to rid the tank of bleach taste and smell. Can that be right? 20 quarts of vinegar?

I checked with CC and the manual is correct. Does anyone have a better or different method? Has anyone tried the CC recommended method and what results did you get? Lingering smells or taste?
Thanks

We just did the sanitizing and I just kept running water through the system. It is fine. At first you smell the bleach, but it goes away. I didn't do the vinegar. I think that is just if you can't get the smell out.
