Placing suggestions in sequence
These are all great ideas. I recommend doing them in the same sequence.
1. Take about five gallons of water from your kitchen tap, taste it and pour it into the fresh water tank. Next, taste it from the tank drain. (This test the entrance point, the tank, etc. )
2. Using all of the same equipment you use on the road -( pressure reduction gauges, hoses, etc. )- fill the fresh water tank and taste the water from the fresh water tank.
3. Fill the water heater from the fresh water tank. Drain and taste; run the gas heater and drain and test; repeat for electric heater if you have one.
4. Shut off the hot water tank.
5. If you have a winterizing bypass take a bottle of water from your house kitchen and run it through each line one at a time. If not, just go straight from the tank.
If you have a problem you may have to test the pump separately.
Others may note a step I left out.
