Blu Technology provides the highest quality water filtration system, hoses and accessories to provide safer water from the "Water Source to the RV". However, many of our customer do not realize that if their RV plumbing system or holding tanks are "not clean", and they maybe putting their Blu Tech Filtered water into an unsafe plumbing system or tank. Essentially defeating the purpose of filtering their water.
Additionally, many Rv'ers are using bleach as a solution for cleaning their system and tanks, not realizing there are several risks associated with using bleach in RV PEX plumbing systems and tanks.
Blu Technology is proud to offer BLEACHFREE, a sanitizer concentrate that is EPA approved and NSF certified safe, to sanitize your RV PLUMBING SYSTEM, TANKS AND SOFTENER.
Risk of Bleach in RV PEX Plumbing Systems and Tanks:
Corrosion: Bleach can be corrosive to certain types of metal pipes, fittings, fixtures and tanks potentially leading to leaks, structural issues and other damage in the plumbing system and thank.
Degradation of PEX material: PEX pipes and fittings are sensitive to certain chemicals, including bleach, which can cause them to degrade over time. This can result in leaks, breaks, or other malfunctions in the plumbing system.
Residue buildup: Bleach can leave behind a residue in the tank, which can build up over time and affect the quality of the water or other liquids stored in the tank. This residue can also be difficult to remove and may require additional cleaning and maintenance to prevent contamination.
Health risks: Bleach is a strong chemical that can be harmful if ingested or inhaled. If bleach is used improperly in a PEX plumbing system or tank, there is a risk of the chemical contaminating the water supply and posing a health hazard to those who come into contact with it.
Environmental impact: Bleach is a chemical that can have negative effects on the environment if it is not properly disposed of. If bleach is used in a PEX plumbing system and then enters the environment through wastewater, it can potentially harm aquatic life and ecosystems.
Overall, using bleach in a RV PEX plumbing system and tanks can pose a variety of risks, including corrosion, degradation of materials, health hazards, and environmental impact. It is important to use caution and follow manufacturer recommendations when using chemicals in a plumbing system to minimize these risks.
