There is no gravity fill tube and the backflow preventer will not allow just a gravity flow to the fresh water tank. I would like to add bleach to periodically clean the tank but how do I get a chemical there?

Thanks

On ours I turn the city water valve to fill tank. Then mix the bleach in a gallon jug and use the winterizing hose to pump the bleach into the freshwater tank. I use the same system if we are on a non-water site and have to fill the freshwater tank using water carried in cans to the MH.

Another way to do it is to add the proper amount of bleach to your whole house filter canister after taking the filter out. Then just turn on the city water and the bleach mixture will go through the various pipes or into the water tank as you open various faucets or the diverter valve.

We do this when we are in Mexico. We just pour some bleach in the hose and then screw it into the coach fitting.
