I have used clorox in the water twice and still get an odor after
running it through all the lines. I even purchased a bottle to add to the water. BUT I STILL get a chemicle smell. Can I put baking soda in the water to sweeten it up a little and get rid of the odor ??

I do NOT drink this water. I just wash in it occasionaly and use it for the dishes.

Thank You . Harry .

Harry, I do not know brand names but know that the Marine industry makes products to remove odor/bad taste from Boat water systems. You may try visiting a boating store and asking what they recommend.

Hi & welcome. Try a charcoal whole house filter. Any home center, even Walmart has them. They are an inline filter so all water has to pass through it. It may not take 100% of it but it should help. Greg

Are you talking about the black and gray water holding tanks in a motor home?

If so, the advice from Steve about going to Camping World is good. Any RV place should have the chemicals to put in the holding tanks.
