I never drink water direct from the tank, even if I've just sterilized it with Milton. I always keep a bottle of water in the fridge for fresh drinking water. I do use the tank water for cooking, filling kettle, and cleaning my teeth.

  We have stralized the tank a couple of times but we still do not drink the water or use it for tea and coffee. We do use it for washing if there's no facilities. though.

We use a water filter, which is filled up from a water container, for drinking, filling the kettle and cooking.  Use the onboard tank for teeth, hand washing and washing up.

Same as above.

thanks to everbody who replied, you helped me to make up my mind to drink or not from tank water, now to find a suitable container for fresh water.

thanks again

Never had a problem drinking from MH Tanks. Empty them when you are not using the van, clean out once or twice a year.

Lets face it, how often do you clean out the inside of your water pipes at home, and how much water is standing in the length of pipe running from your home to where it has been cleaned?

Hi, I find it easier to get an 8 pack of 2 litre bottles of water from Lidl only about £2 and spread them around the van, saves having a big container to trip over. And the 2 litre bottles are easy to fill when needed.
