Cleaning freshwater onboard equipment

[crankedup5]

I asked elsewhere about cleaning my onboard glassfibre water tank, hoses, taps along with my aquaroll. Bicarbonate of soda but unable to buy any locally atm and want to get it done for weekend.
Next product Puriclean - good stuff of snake oil ? Thanks.

Thanks chaps all points noted, and I will definitely buy bottled water for drinking.

We use Puriclean a couple of times a year (and have an inline filter, changed every Spring) and have never had a problem drinking the water.

My van is an oldie classic, I don’t think it is fitted with any filters at all. I only use the old girl for long weekends away at steam rallies. It has a fibreglass water holding tank but the hoses look fairly new and are fit for food use.

Just a mention, I have measured my onboard water tank and it carries just 59 Lt all up. No shower,
no en-suite, no hot water storage, no water flush loo (porta-pottie). What a contrast to modern campervan!!
As I have just modernised from 1920’s. caravan into my mid 60’s campervan it does feel like the very essence of luxury

Thanks for the tip Steve, ^^^^^ I will investigate further. My van has a simple blue outlet from tank to pump and inlet pipe to water tap. Food safety pipes so fairly modern.

What about "miltons" the stuff you clean babies bottles with

My limited understanding of use of ‘Milton’, it can affect some metal parts in the water system and also can leave a ‘taste’ in the water.
