Post by: wmarsb on March 10, 2013, 09:59:45 AM

hello all. had the jayco for 6 months and i just drained the water tank and flushed it with clean water. do i need to put any thing in the tank to rinse it out properly before i fill it up. (trying to get away next week if the brissy wheather behaves).

If filling with treated town water you don't need to add anything nor do you need to flush the tank.  Water tanks only have a problem if using water from an unknown source or if daylight gets into them and allows algae to breed.
