Fresh Water Tank Drain

[Leroy Eckert]

Gardner,
I do not remember the date, possibly two months ago, I left my pump on without
water in the tank. I had drained it. Didn't do any harm but the belt fried for
some reason. Thereafter, I was asked why I drained the tank, possible
stagnation, I replied.
The consensus was treated water holds well. Well water does not. Made sense to
me so I have been filling the tank and using the pump. Water is replenished as
needed.
I cannot tell the difference in pressure. I do not hook up the hose unless
needed. I do not have a gross weight problem either. Gross weight may be a
consideration for your coach.
Hope you have a good trip. Pop a top for me.

Leroy,
You mentioned other members reccomend using the tank regularly as
opposed to running straight from the hose. Is this mainly to keep
the tank water from getting stagnent? It sounds like a good idea to
me as long as your pump can keep up.
