We are on well water when we fill, so the water doesn’t come with any chlorine already in it. If there is any leftover glycol then it is a feast for things we don’t want, so the bleach keeps that from happening. If filling from town water with chlorine already added the. You might not have to...
Haha, yes it is different. The chart is to make drinking water safe, but high levels of chlorine can cause embrittlement and corrosion of some stainless steels, so you don’t want to just dump several cups in a tank and then let it sit to clean and disinfect it, the tank could quickly corrode...
Loren, we don't have a filter so can't help you there, but we have had issues in the past with growth in the system. We found using brewers cleaner to clean the stainless tank was the way to go, it also cleans all the lines out. Once you get them running clean, a little bleach at every...
We pour the antifreeze into the tank, and then use the pumps to circulate it. In the spring we fill the tank with about 10 gallons, flush that all through, fill it full, flush all 40 gallons through the various faucets, showers, etc, and then refill with some chlorine in the tank (not a lot...

Thanks everyone for the awesome responses. I do love the people on this forum. I was suspicious that it was a stainless tank, and everyone that has them proves that. We have the manifold connection in the starboard settee, I will have to check if it is two or three, but suspect only two. The...
Our 35-3 has the wires in the fwd port leg. You do have to pull forward and up after removing all the set screws. A lot of juggling and struggling is required. We had our anchor pan out at the time which helped a lot.
So now with us spending more time on the boat, and with a two year old on board constantly making messes, we found that our water supply is not enough. We currently have one 40 gal tank under the forward v-berth. There is a capped off connection in the starboard settee where another tank used...
I can’t even say what model this is, see pictures but it was connected to a raymarine e series display, I have added a picture of the connector. I assume this will cost a bit to ship unless someone wants to pick it up. I’m thinking $100 shipped in the USA which probably once UPS is done with me...
