For an RV system any brand bleach will do the job just fine.

Any brand of "Chlorine Bleach" that is. The "color safe" bleaches are usually Hydrogen Peroxide based and there doesn't seem to be any documentation of the effectiveness of that when used to disinfect.

Unscented bleach.

Just to add to the confusion:


Unscented Bleach = Regular Chlorine Bleach (Sodium Hypochlorite based)
This doesn't mean that it has no smell, but that the chemical smell has not been altered (scented) with other scents such as lemon or Daffodil (LOL)


Bleaches that have no smell(?) are usually hydrogen peroxide based, not what you want.

The chlorine smell dissipates over a relatively short time. Floral scents do not.
