FRESH WATER TANKS

(samantha wrote the following on Sep 9)

The Freshwater tanks are REALLY gross. The algae (?) is BLACK. It's hard to reach your arm far into the tank, though I was able to get past my elbow. Mark the launch driver for BHSC said that we might consider getting new bladder tanks, cutting off the tops of the existing tanks and putting them in there.

We purged the tanks a few times after scrubbing, but there is still gunk in there. The tanks are full so water is avaialbe on board, definitely not potable, and not sure you want to do dishes in it either.

The tanks are much cleaner now. A mirror shows no visible slime on the insides of the tanks. Chlorine has been added to the tanks and allowed to sit for a couple of days. This should have killed anything in there. The tanks have since been flushed, scrubbed, rinsed, and re-filled. There is still a slight odor of chlorine, so they should probably be reflushed.

Chlorinated water has been run through the hoses, so that should have killed alae in the hoses, but they still look nasty. All freshwater hoses should be replaced.
