You should have never put any antifreeze in the tank. No need foe it there.

Baking soda can help rid the tank and lines of residual taste, both of RV antifreeze and of chlorine. I did that after my initial goof of putting antifreeze in the fresh water tank, not realizing that I had a winterization valve and line for that purpose.

Never did put antifreeze in the FW tank, but had the 'residue' in the lines from when we winterized the first time. Took us more than a few times using different concoctions to rid the cold water supply line of the antifreeze taste and odor.

Thanks for the info. I am going to try air. We spent many summers near Torch Lake. We had a cottage in Bay View.

Tom, Torch Lake is just across the street from us, I pray we never take it for granted. although I am sure there are times we have. Also, because we are away from towns and bigger cities, the sky at night is very dark, always get to see the Milky Way, and on many occasions have been treated to the Northern Lights. It is a very special place for us. We especially become more thankful after coming home from third world countries or areas of the world where the things we take for granted, like fresh water, food, gas stations,and our freedom, are nearly non-existent.
