2021 D333RTL - When I sanitize the fresh water holding tank with clorox how do you keep the clorox from going into the hot water tank? Inside the storage bay I removed the panels where the hot water tank is located. Can not see a bypass. This area has the water pump and all the plumbing. The only thing I can come up with is not to turn on the hot water faucets but then those hot water lines are not being sanitized?? Any other idea?

If you have the panel with the knobs like on our 356RTL Gold, I would think you could set it to Winterize and that by passes the hot water heater

Your panel should look like this, set to winterize and you should be good.

I simply sanitize the whole plumbing system. Since the moldy hot water comes out the same faucet as the chlorinated cold water, why do only half of the plumbing?

I thought running Clorox through hot water heater/tank was not a good thing decrease the life of the hot water tank??

But my question then is: when I winterize the rv antifreeze dose not go into the fresh water tank. I was asking - if I add Clorox to the fresh water tank how do you keep the clorox from going into the hot water tank. When you add Clorox to the winterize connection then you're bypassing the fresh water tank.

The only way to stop your clorox water from going into the hot water tank would be to drain it before use and fill it with fresh water. Any water you pump in from the city connection or from the fresh tank will get everywhere in the system unless you're in winterize mode.

Johnr- thank and others as well. I've always pulled a tt and I had a bypass system for the hot water tank that would enable you to keep both rv antifreeze and Clorox from entering the hot water tank. Again thank you guys for responding.

One of those switches on the water panel is the bypass. My guess is the red one? If the water tank has hot water in it, run the hot, and turn the red switch, does it get cold? If not red, then my second guess is green.
