When Should the Water System of an RV be Sanitized
Question:
My husband doesnt sanitize the lines even when trailer sits in hot humid weather. He says since we hook up to fresh water st RV parks, it doesnt happen. I cant convince him that the lines may be disgusting at this point. Weve owned our Cougar almost two years.

When Should you Sanitize Your RV Water System
Do you notice a stale odor when using your water from the fresh water system? It usually occurs when water was left in the system for quite some time. It is time to sanitize the entire water system.
Has your RV been sitting for a month or more and the RV water system has not been used? It is time to sanitize the entire water system.
Have you filled your water tank then been informed that there is a boil water advisory? It is time to sanitize the entire water system.
Do you have a problem with algae or slime in your tank? It is time to sanitize the entire water system.
If you do not drink water out of your fresh water tank, you might think that you will never have to sanitize, however, if you use water from your fresh water tank for any purpose? It is time to sanitize the entire water system.
You must remember that filters will remove contaminates such as sand and rust and will improve taste and odor but a filter is not a purifier and will not kill bacteria and other microorganisms. It is time to sanitize the entire water system.
