What is the name of...
Does anyone here remember a water tank treatment that they use to sell at Camping world about 5 years ago. It was made to put in the fresh water tank after your rig was winterized for the winter season. This took the bad taste of the anti-freeze out of the tank. I don't remember the name of the treatment and I don't see that kind of water treatment on the shelf at CW. Can anyone help out please!

I assume you are pouring the "pink stuff" into your fresh water tank and pumping it thru out the water system on your RV. Not a really good method as most any RV now days has a winterizing hose near the convenience center assuming you have one. The bottom of any fresh water tank has low points all over it, so it is extremely hard to flush out the "pink stuff" without using alot of water. That being said ... when I sanitize my FW system with bleach, I flush it out of the lines and follow up with about a cup of baking soda in say 10 gallons of water in the fresh water tank. I then pump that thru the system and let it sit overnight. Flush that out the next day and the baking soda renders the bleach taste mostly gone. I'd guess it will work for your antifreeze taste as well.

Why would you put anti-freeze in your fresh water tank? In my over 40 years of RVing I have never done this and I live in MN where we are winterized over 6 months every year.

Even that we empty the fresh water tank, the anti-freeze will get into the tank and lines of the water system. This take the taste out of all of that. I hate that testy taste of anti-freeze.

I have winterized all 3 units I have had by putting 3 gallons in the fresh tank and pumping it through all fixtures. Its fool proof and I can do it in 15 minutes. Yes, in the spring you have to flush it out real good, but that is also easy.

beeje ... with most newer units not having a external fill port anymore ... pouring the pink stuff in the FWT isn't so easy now days. Yeah I know ... some have popped off the FWT vent cover and some have rigged a pump to externally pump it in, but why not just use the winterizer port and the onboard pump??

I have not used antifreeze in over 15 years. Just blow the lines out really good and have never had a problem. I hated that taste for months after opening up in the spring.

Get yourself a few bottles of Taste Pure Water treatment. Stuff works great takes all of the bad taste and the taste that your water has gone thru a rubber garden hose. I just order a case of 12.
