RV Fresh Water Sanitization in Hobe Sound, FL
Full system flush and sanitization to eliminate bacteria, biofilm, and stale water taste. Critical in Florida heat.
Fresh water sitting in your RV's tank and lines above 80 degrees Fahrenheit becomes a breeding ground for bacteria, including potentially dangerous Legionella. In Florida, your RV's water system can easily reach 90 to 100 degrees during summer storage. If your water tastes stale, smells off, or your rig has been sitting for more than two weeks in summer, sanitization isn't optional.

What We Do
We perform a complete fresh water system sanitization using a dilute bleach solution per EPA guidelines. This includes draining the existing water, filling the system with sanitizing solution, running it through every faucet and fixture, letting it sit for the recommended contact time, draining, and flushing with clean water until no residual taste or smell remains. We also inspect the fresh water tank for sediment and biofilm buildup.

RV Fresh Water Sanitization FAQ
How much does water system sanitization cost?
A full sanitization runs $150 to $300 depending on tank size and system complexity. It takes about 2 to 3 hours including contact time.
How often should I sanitize in Florida?
Every 3 months if using the RV regularly. Before every trip if it's been sitting. At minimum, twice a year (spring and fall).
Is the bleach safe for my plumbing?
Yes. We use the dilution ratio recommended by the EPA (1/4 cup per 15 gallons). At this concentration, it effectively kills bacteria without damaging PEX pipe, fittings, or seals.
Can I sanitize the system myself?
You can, following the bleach dilution ratio and running it through all fixtures. Many owners prefer having us do it to ensure thorough treatment and proper flushing.
What causes biofilm in RV water systems?
Bacteria naturally present in water form a slimy layer (biofilm) inside tanks and pipes. Warm temperatures accelerate growth. Biofilm harbors bacteria even after the water is replaced, which is why sanitization, not just draining, is necessary.
Do you install water filters?
Yes. We install inline carbon filters that improve taste and reduce sediment. A filter combined with regular sanitization gives you the cleanest water possible.
