CD25 water tank delamination?

Post by Doug Kelch »

I bought a CD25 last winter and I flushed the water tank this spring with 2 - 3 cups of bleach in 20 gallons of water. I am getting real fine flakes of what looks like tank particals. The previous owner had the same problem but didn't know what was happening. Any Ideas on what it is and how to fix it?

Thanks

Doug

Doug;
The water tank is plastic so I don't think it is a delamination problem. One thought is that it is sediment from whatever water supply
that has been used. Your best bet is to remove the tank and flush it well. IMHO.

The water tank on my '75 CD25 is a built in fiberglass tank, not a plastic tank, so it could be delamination if he has the same type. Just a thought.
