empty the fresh water tank
add 1 cup of bleach
top off the tank
run water through every line long enough to get the mixture into every hose & valve
leave system alone for 12-24 hours
run tank dry
add clean water
run clean water through every line to get the bleach out
run the tank dry
fill the tank again with fresh water
run it dry once more
now filler up with fresh water and you're ready to go.
no bleach smell or taste

A few oz of bleach in the fresh water will be ok you just don't want to put it stright in the holding tank .
Flush out the fresh water system with bleach and water ,let it sit flush with water fill up and ad a once or 2 of bleach . Thats what I do .
and it seems to work
