Gas + water faucet......

We always add chlorine to every water fill. It stays in the tank until removed by the filters.
Gas is not a product of chlorine breakdown.

Pete, what rate do you does your water at & any special filters required to remove the chlorine?

Thanks.

Now that I’ve stopped laughing ( sorry ), I wonder if it has nothing to do with the tank flushing.
Could there be some gas leaking somehow into the water tank plumbing ?
Certainly does seem a pretty dodgy way to get hot water. ??

Cheers

Hi Michael,
When chlorine is mixed with water it is possible for some hydrogen to be generated. If this were to accumulate in your tank then be ejected at the faucet in proximity to a flame it may ignite. It is a factor that we were aware of in the chlorine manufacturing plants that I have worked in.

I haven’t had a camper or van longer than 6yrs, but have never emptied a water tank ( only ever filled ) or added anything to the water.
Water doesn’t go off, unless light can get to it, but most towns in Australia already have chlorinated water supplies, so don’t see the advantage of adding more ?

Cannot offer you a solution but l'm still getting over you calling a tap a faucet!
American terms creeping into our language. Resist please.
Reminds me of an amusing time when l was camped in the Flinders Ranges in the 1980s and a Yank pulled up beside me.
I could tell he was a Yank, complete with Big F Series Truck( another Yank term), loud demanding voice and broad accent.
His question to me was "where's the faucet"? I had no idea what he was talking about and he got increasingly annoyed and pulled out a map and showed me the little tap symbol on it.
I broke out in laughter, which got him further annoyed, and said that only means there is a source of water somewhere here, as in a creek not necessarily a tap or faucet as you call is.
He just roared off in a huff leaving me in a cloud of dust!
