When you are in the middle of a trip, you never want to deal with a malfunctioning septic system. There are few problems worse than dealing with a leaking or broken water tank on your vacation. To keep your tanks working correctly, you need to maintain, replace, and upgrade them when necessary. Here’s a closer look at the types of RV water tanks and how All-Rite Custom Manufacturing can help.
Three Types of RV Water Tanks and Tips on How to Maintain Them:
- RV Fresh Water Tank: Your fresh water tank provides you with your water to shower, drink, and do dishes. Fill your tank using a clear potable water hose and attach a pressure regulator to it to help ensure safety. If you notice a smell, you can use a bleach solution to rid the tank of contaminants.
- RV Gray Water Tank: Your gray water tank is comprised of the left-over water after you shower or do dishes. The pipes are small, so make sure to scrape your plates before washing them to avoid food particles from clogging the drain.
- RV Black Water Tank: Your RV black water tank (waste tank) holds dirty water from the toilet. To keep build up from backing up your tank, use single-ply toilet paper, add extra water before you flush, and clean your tank often (put a garden hose down the toilet to clear build up and help flush your system).
