Cleaning Fresh Water Tank

Postby daveswellcraft » Sun Jun 04, 2023 9:53 pm

I always wondered why fresh water smelled. No mater what I did or cleaner out, it smelled. I know that the boat is 34 years old. This year I decided to open up the fresh water tanks and I was surprised by what a disgusting mess it was. I have 2 fresh water tanks mounted side by side. I cut open the tops to clean out the tanks.

Looks like there's plenty of propylene glycol (RV anti-freeze) in there. If it were me, I'd run plenty of water in, then use a vacuum pump to snuff out as much as I could... mebbie shove a pressure washer hose (with a jetter-type nozzle) on it, and move it around a bunch to cut as much crud loose as possible... then run the pump, clean out the lines, run the pump, clean out the galley fixtures, shower, etc., then put more in, and add a gallon of bleach to mebbie a hundred gallons of water, then run it through again...
