Topic: sanitizing fresh water tank Posted: 19 May 2015 at 6:40pm |
In the post you quoted, I am specifically talking about, and referring to, the white drinking water safe hoses, 25 foot in length. [/QUOTE]
Ah… thanks

BTW, to do the hoses, I use about a quarter teaspoon of bleach in the water bottle, and it only needs to sit for an hour. And the water bottle will just about fill a 25 foot hose. Then I just swish and swing the hose a bit with it coupled to itself, let sit, rinse.

What are we sanitizing, the fresh water tank/system or the fill hose?

My 2¢, absolutely necessary, whether you drink it or not.

Thanks for sharing Furpod. That was some nasty looking stuff inside that hose. I wonder what's in Techntrek's plumbing since he doesn't sanitize his pod?

My thoughts are, I shower in it, and I cook with it, and I wash dishes with it. My dogs occasionally drink it. In any of those scenarios, the heebyjeebys can/might happen. So I like to know I did my part to stop them. My dogs having the heebiejeebies would be the worst I think, but it takes 10 minutes of interaction on my part to prevent it for sure... BTW I cut open a potable water only hose this spring that had developed a couple kinks, and added hose repair couplings.. I took some pictures of what I found.. I will post them up... OK, so I figure the hose gets filled with city water every time the plumbing of the pod does.. I always sanitize my hoses at the same time I am doing the pod. This is what I found, and what it looked like after sanitizing. I have to assume, the inside of the pods plumbing is the same.. Inside of hose.. My treatment apparatus.. The inside of the hose after sanitizing.. Gratuitous picture of repair coupling in action..
