I use a product called Puri-clean. You can get it from places like Towsure. I mix it in the water carrier according to the instructions and then run it through the pump, leave it to stand for an hour or so, drain, good rinse and run plenty of clean water through the pipes and jobs a good 'un.
I do this prior to every trip out. I'm not too concerned about the water standing in the carrier as I tend to have to fill it every day anyway but as mentioned above, it's a good idea to let everything dry off properly when you're not using it.

I use this too, but I have to admit, not very often. No black bits, and I'm still alive! I don't let water sitting in the pipes worry me (but we always let the tap ru a little before using) - they sit in the pipes at home too. We drain off every time we leave a site. If the tea tastes funny then we used bottle, but the water in the UK has such a variable taste depending on where you are.
