What is it okay to put in the gray tank?

Is it okay to wash your hands in the sink after preparing raw chicken? Should I take a hit of Purell first to kill potential germies?
What about draining a can of veggies or black beans? Or should that liquid go in the trash?
How about pasta water?

These should all be okay. What's your particular concern?

Stuff growing in there - salmonella, E. Coli, molds, etc.
Would it be advisable to put some bleach in there?

I put a cap full of the same thing I use to treat the black water tank. I'm not sure but I think it is a Camco product.Photomom said:Stuff growing in there - salmonella, E. Coli, molds, etc.

Cool--an onboard garden! :-)
If I were emptying the tank regularly--and not drinking or bathing with it--I wouldn't spend any more energy worrying about it than I do the drain pipes in my house. Seems a little bleach wouldn't hurt, though, if it makes you feel better.
We'll see what the real microbiologist thinks...

I just put one of the same bio packets I use in the black tank. But ya, where's our microbiologist when we need one.

Hopefully out on the Harley.
See Ratkity, that'll teach ya' to tell anybody you're an expert in something! :-)

LOL @ScottG. The gray water only flows one direction - outward towards the drain valve. You can wash all sorts of things down the sink (food and hand washing stuff). The soap you use usually kills most microbes and if by chance you get an odor, you can run distilled vinegar down the drain and rinse it or use an RV gray tank deodorizer to get rid of the smell.
Someone who full-times it uses the gray tank to its fullest, and those deodorizing packets are a good idea.2017 820R Retro Toy Hauler from 2015 Tabitha T@B from 2009 Reverse LG Teardrop (but a T@Bluver at heart) -
Thank you! We have not yet used either tank but expect to soon!John and Henrietta, Late 2016 T@B S Max in Western New York
