Is chlorine and alcohol free, with no corrosive effects on usual water system materials of construction The dosed water, if used for drinking purposes, can still be consumed whilst the chemical (if dosed as per manufacturers’ instructions) remains in the system. Any booster pumps associated with the system/tank should also be isolated from the main power supply. Or, if you’re not using a pressure washer, fill the tank with hot water and allow to stand for a couple of hours before draining the water from the tank Now, I should make it very clear that he did NOT get Legionnaires from our motorhome water tank, but it was from another van, which isn’t used very much.
Water tanks should be cleaned and disinfected annually (or more frequently if an inspection deems it necessary) for drinking water and only when inspection deems necessary for potable and non-potable water. Once the system has been flushed through or partly drained the TDS should be measured and the levels should be equivalent to the incoming mains water supply (TDS within 5%). Also, measure the concentration of free chlorine remaining in the tank. It should be between 0.5 and 0.1PPM. We’ve never done this, purely because the acetic acid we know of is hazardous to eyes and skin. Many people use it as a weed killer. You can get a milder dose (vinegar is only 4% acetic acid) but I question how effective this would be! Ensuring Water Quality and Safety: Over time, sediment, bacteria, algae, and other contaminants can accumulate in water tanks. Regular cleaning helps remove these impurities, ensuring that the water remains safe and clean for consumption. Without regular cleaning, these contaminants can multiply, compromising the quality of the water and posing health risks. Next day, fully open all taps, which allows the cleaning product to then run into your grey waste tank and clean that too. I also pour some cleaning product/ solution down the drains in the kitchen and bathroom.
About the tank clean and how long will it take?
After effective use in the disinfection process, the chemical degrades into harmless water and oxygen and therefore no requirement for neutralisation Quadclean™ is more than just vacuuming sludge from the bottom of your water tank. To truly enjoy pure drinking water, you need to ensure the water is sanitised, filtered and agitated to give it life!

Step 6: Water tank disinfection Regular water tank cleaning is essential for maintaining a healthy water supply. Let's explore why it is necessary and the recommended frequency for cleaning: The water tank cleaning process can vary slightly depending on the size, type and complexity of the tank, premises and the water system involved.
Dependent on your accessibility, this task can also be carried out using a stiff brush, high-pressure jet or water hose. Be extra thorough when cleaning corners and joints so that no small amounts of the original liquid remain. Leave the mixture to sit for two hours. Step three: Wash & rinse your water tank Use Fresh Water Tank Cleaner with complete peace of mind as it contains no chlorine. This means it doesn’t leave any lasting chemical taste in your drinking water. How to Use Also, over time, the fresh water system in your motorhome, campervan or caravan becomes contaminated by dirt, particles and even bits from the hose you use to fill up the tank. All of this promotes bacteria and makes the water less safe to consume. Our Landlords & Legionella Risk Assessment Guide provides up to date information on how to assess and test your water. WHO (The World Health Organisation) provide plans for drinking water tank treatment to help landlords regularly maintain their water tanks and the health of their tenants. Step 2: Disinfect your tools When and how often you should clean will differ depending on whether the cold water storage tanks serve the building’s drinking water are potable (used for washing hands etc) or non-potable (toilet flushing, possibly from rain water recovery) systems. Drinking water storage tanks need to be cleaned more regularly because they feed drinking water outlets.
