We only use the holding tank water to drink , if I've filled the tank ( after sanitizing ) at home and it's less that a week old.

We generally use bottled water. However; we do have a filtered tap in the kitchen which we use for cooking. Also; whenever we come in from a trip some bleach goes into the tank until the next trip.

Never use water in tank to drink. Gallon jugs of spring water for drinking and coffee. We use the tank water for showers only. It is not so much that sanitization is the issue, but rather, the smell and the taste of the water at some campgrounds that is the issue. Texas (sulpher) water is one that comes to mind.

We've used the water in our tank all 4 years of full timing. No issues at all. I grew up drinking tap water and still do.

Same here. Do it right and you have nothing to worry about. Also, I don't use a filter when I'm at the house so that I let the purification that's in my city water keep the tank clean. No plastic bottles for me.

I tend to mix mine with bourbon and have no problem. Actually, we use our water on board water tank and drink that water. Always filtered as we fill the tank. We once took on sulfur smelling water and didn't like that. Took a lot of rinsing to get it back to normal.

I boondocked in tents and popups for 40 years. I'm spoiled now.
My FW tank is not fresh, but I only use it for the toidy while traveling.
Shore water is filtered thru a regular residential whole house filter with a charcoal element. Always good tasting water with no grit in it.
Easy-peasy!
Just sayin.....

I agree with Wayne. We've been drinking from the tank for 10 years and never a problem. We do have a filter at the sink, and filter all water going into the tank, so double filtration.
