How To Repair The Fresh Water Tank In Your Recreational Vehicle?
When you own a Recreational Vehicle at one point or another you will need to replace the fresh water tank that is installed on your RV. This can be quite costly if you have to hire a professional to do this for you. This is not a difficult task but does require some basic handyman skills to complete. If you are confident in your plumbing skills here is a simple guide to help you replace your own fresh water tank in your RV. Step 1. You will need to drain your current fresh water tank, all plumbing pipes and your hot water heater in your RV. All filters must be removed that are associated with your plumbing in the RV. Step 2. Create a solution using four teaspoons of liquid dishwashing soap for every ten gallons of clean water. This water will be used to flush out your RV water system prior to installing your new water tank. You will need to run all of the taps in the RV until all of the soap solution is completely flushed through. Step 3. You will need to fill the plumbing system with fresh clean water. Drain this through again. Step 4. Use the manufacturer’s instructions that are included with your new fresh water tank for the RV to install the new water tank. Inspect the system throughout your RV carefully for any leaks that may be present. If you do notice leaks, make the necessary adjustments needed to stop them. Step 5. When you have the new water tank installed in your RV you will need to flush your plumbing system with chlorine bleach. Again you will need to run all of the taps until this is flushed through your complete freshwater system. Step 6. Fill the new fresh water tank that you have just installed half way with fresh clean water. You will need to add six ounces of chlorine bleach for each ten gallons of water that you have added to the new fresh water tank. Step 7. Fill the fresh water tank the rest of the way until it is full. Allow this water and chlorine bleach solution to sit in the water tank for at least one to two hours. After this time you will need to turn on all faucets completely to allow the chlorinated water to drain through.
