(Before Your Trip)

  1. Filter all the water that goes into your RV through an Aqua-Mate filter (www.simplesiphon.com).
  2. Fill and flush your fresh water tank with lemon-bleach/white vinegar solutions.
  3. Put 5 gallons of water in black tank and add 8oz of All Pro Odor Eliminator per tank-full for odor control only..
  4. Put 5 gallons of water in gray tank and add 4oz of All Pro Odor Eliminator for odor control only.
  5. Flush hot water heater and check anode rod.
 
 

(During Your Trip)

  1. Always filter incoming water to your RV (bad water will hurt everything).
  2. When camping, keep both black and gray valves closed (unless you have a clothes washer on your gray tank).
  3. Never empty tanks that are less than 3/4 full.
  4. Top off both black and gray tanks with clean water, when possible, before emptying.
  5. Always start off with a small amount of water in your tanks (NEVER start using your tanks when they are dry).
  6. Always use single-ply paper in RV's and boats.
 
 

(After Your Trip)

  1. When possible, drive home with your tanks half full and dump at your local dump station (this allows your tanks to "stir" themselves while you're driving).
  2. Store your sewer hose as clean as possible.
  3. If you winterize, always add a little RV antifreeze to your tanks (helps lube gaskets and valves).
 
  Remember, water flow is friction and friction is what cleans tanks.  The more water in and out of the tank is the best cleaning agent.
