Things You Need
Bleach, funnel, proper water supply and a container.
Method for sanitization
•To begin with, place your RV in such a spot that you would be easily able to drain the water from your RV. The water tank for your RV is normally at the back of your vehicle. Now go there and open the pressure release valve after turning the water tank off. Turn off the water pump as well, which may or may not be with the water heater.
•Pull out the plug from the RV water tank, which will lead to draining of the water heater. After that, locate the RV’s drain lines and their low points. There you would find the drain valves or plugs. To drain RV’s water lines, open these valves or plugs.
•Now close the drainage points after the water is drained. Follow this up by adding quarter of a cup of bleach to the main water tank per 15 gallons of water the tanks can hold. Make sure that you have taken all the safety measure like gloves and eye protection while you do this. Use the funnel if need be. Fill the tank with water once this is done.
•Open the hot and cold water faucets in the RV till the bleach comes out of them prominently enough for you to smell it. After that, shut the faucets and let the bleach stay in the system for at least 6 hours or if you can, let it stay overnight.
•Further ahead, to sanitize RV water tanks, open the drain valves or cocks outside the RV. There are two valves, which would most probably be at the lowest point of the water lines of the system.
•Usually you would be able to open them manually, but if the valves are stiff, you might need pliers to open them. Turn these cocks clockwise, in a single half to a full turn.
•Again, open the hot and cold water faucets in your RV for allowing air in the water line and for the bleach water to drain out.
•At the bottom left corner of the hot water heater there would be a drain cock which you would need to open. Follow this up by opening the pressure relief valve situated at the top of the heater.
•The pressure relief valve can be opened by simply lifting a lever. After that, allow the water to drain.
•Now, allow your RVs water system’s pump to run for 30 seconds or may be a bit more, which will drain and push out any remaining amount of water. Be careful as to not let the pump run for more than 30 seconds, as it can lead to overheating of the system in the absence of water in the pump. Continue Reading »

Polar bears are found in five nations: Canada, Russia, US (Alaska), Denmark and Norway. An accurate estimate about polar bear population is unavailable, as it is difficult to find and count all of them. However, the rough estimate is that there are between 22,000 to 40,000 polar bears living today, of which more than half live in Canada.
What does a Polar Bear Hunt and Eat?
Polar bears thrive in the Arctic regions, and are not found in the southern hemisphere. This is because of the different polar bear adaptations. Polar bears have adapted to living in the cold winter conditions of the Arctic, as the Arctic region is where they have their favorite food source: the seal. The ringed seal and the bearded seal are the bear’s primary source of food. Polar bears eat the fat of the seal and leave the remaining carcass for scavengers like ravens, arctic foxes and younger bears.
Are Polar Bears Endangered?
Species which are on the verge of extinction are classified as endangered species. The question ‘are polar bears becoming endangered?’ is on everybody’s mind. The answer to this is ‘not yet’. The predominant reason of polar bears getting closer to becoming endangered is global warming. Global warming has taken a toll on the population numbers of polar bears. Today, polar bears are listed as threatened species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973. In 2005, the polar bear was reclassified as ‘vulnerable’ on the IUCN World Conservation Union’s Red List of Threatened Species, noting that polar bears could become extinct if the sea ice changes continue.
Increase in temperature in the Arctic regions due to global warming has caused the ice to melt. Ice is the habitat of these polar bears, which they use for hunting, traveling and mating. In some areas, bears spend the summer months on land and fast until ice is formed in the fall. They then use the ice as a rostrum to hunt seals in the seas. According to certain studies related to polar bear population in Canada, the period of fasting has increased by three weeks since the 1970s. Moreover, the population has declined by 15% in the past ten years. The US Minerals Management Service in northern Alaska has reported that some polar bears have drowned in the attempt to swim long distances between land and ice.
Global warming has caused other animals to die in the Arctic region, whic Continue Reading »
