Hi

I would try the tablets first, you might find the caravan places have some thing to help you also, would try this before taking tank out,

you dont by chance have a brother called richard do you.??  i know a D tyreman.

hi tyreman

this is usually caused by a non foodgrade hose. it can take months before the taste disappears.

I made the mistake of putting Milton in our tank and letting it stand for too long before flushing it through.  If you fill the tank with water and let it stand before flushing through, do this a few times.  Ours went after a few flushings through.  It might help to use warm water.

Like a lot of people, we do not use tap water for drinking now but fill a large water container straight from the tap and then put it through a filter.

thanks  for your replies,i`ll certainly try the warm water theory and let you know

We had that problem too, but used puriclean purifying powder (2.99) and it worked a treat. Tried out the water this weekend and it was fine.

We did notice that even after we had pumped all of the water out, when we opened the big screw bit at the bottom there was some residual water left in the tank, so now we make sure we empty that out at the end of a trip to stop any water stagnating.

flushed the tank through with the hottest water that i could and we`ve used the van for the weekend and the water`s fine now,might be due to the fact that its being used a bit more as well...thanks all for you replies

forget all those tablets, get a water purifier, there are various version around, on the previous MH had one with a seperate tap so you had one tap for drinking water, on the new MH went for an in line filter straight after the pump, this way all taps provide pure clean drinking water, with out the plastic taste

Well worth the money
