Cleaning the water tanks

<< < (2/2)

Last Resort:
I had this funny hose on my boat when I bought it and it took a couple of years to figure out what it was....it's a hose to clean out the holding tank!!!  You attach it too a hose and the end sends out a 360° spray, and quite powerful. So I imagine if it can clean my holding tank, a water tank should be no problem. It's the next best thing to an actual power washer I think :)

here's mine, but there are different versions to research!

#95:
The bow tank on #95 was just nasty as heck, and contemplated different methods to get it CLEAN....removal of tank and steamcleaning, a flexible pressure washing wand, nope. I ended up cutting a square access point to allow me to get my entire arm in there to scrub, disinfect, rinse and rinse some more. I found a good plastic welding tool at HF for 22$. It made quick work of re-sealing the cut area. The entire process took me just over 2 hours while taking my time and doing a full recovery of the tank.             https://www.harborfreight.com/welding/welders/plastic-welders/80-watt-iron-plastic-welding-kit-60662.html
