A while back it was something to do with the plastic water pipes, not sure if this is still the case with some vans, But try puraclean in the aqua roll, then run it through your pipe work, leave it standing for 12 hrs.
Hope this sorts it out.

Hi, I had the same problem earlier in the year. If you search fro tcp in the forums then it will come up (not sure how to add the link).
Anyway to solve the problem.
1. Drain down the system - have pump on so it fully empties the pipes
2. Check clear pipes in locker on heater ( mine were a bit dirty so took off and clean with some paper being pushed through
3. Fill aqua roll with water and add puriclean ( halfords sell if for couple of quid)
4. Leave water in aqua roll for a few hours and rotate it around so aqua roll is clean
5. Empty out , refill with clean water and add puriclean, then fill system with this, making sure it is pulled through to all taps
6. Leave to work, then drain down again , making sure all water is out by having electrics on.
7. I then refilled again with puriclean and left to work it magic
8. Wash out aqua roll , fill with clean water and refill system ( I pulled most of the aquaroll through the taps to totally flush) then drain down again.
9. Refill with clean water and hey presto no taste.
It does seem a bit long winded but it was worth it. I will also say thanks to those members who came up with the solution for me
Funny thing is my water was ok untill i bought the aqua roll so is it that or the conway pipes only people it has happened to have Crusaders and aquaroll

We had this last week and it turned out to be the Aquaroll.
I swilled it out redilled it with clean water and put a couple of purifying tablets in. Left it for an hour, flushed the pipes through and all was well after this.
We've had it in the Fiesta when using the aquaroll. Now we only use the aquaroll water for anything apart from drinking. For drining water we bought a 5 litre jack of water from Tesco and kept it when used. We fill it up at the house and when it's used up, we just buy another one or a couple of 2 litre bottles at a time. If you buy the El Cheapo versions, it's not expensive and it is fine to drink.
Sterilisation of the water barrels and water system is the key to remove any unwanted taste and Puriclean is the best application for this as it actually destroys any Bio-film which is the bacteria that actually clings to the internal plastic components.
All sound advice (especially the whisky) but check for a built in filter in your water system and replace it when cleaning your pipes. If you don't the filter will harbour the taste no matter how clean your aquaroll.
