Default Fresh water system- a question for Peggy, (and others).

I did the whole shootin' match about three times now. Scrubbed the tank,
flushed it out, filled with bleach solution and ran it through all the lines
and let sit about 6 hrs., then pumped the tanks out, filled with FW and
flushed the lines. The odor comes back within a week or so with the fresh
water. I'm guessing the black rubber hose maybe contaminated and
non-responsive to the bleach treatment. I guess I'll replace it and see if
that helps.


I think you have the right idea. Follow Peggies advice and replace
the lines with "non-clear" tubing.

Also, the chlorine in domestic (shore supply) will evaporate or be
used up after a while. If you don't use it frequently, you may still
need to add a bit of chlorine from time to time.
Good luck,
