You've got me worried about using Milton. I am new to caravans and have just cleaned our system with Milton. Hope I haven't done any damage. I guess I'll learn the hard way.

Don't despair as it won't do any harm if you have used it once as I used to use it myself until I found out the facts regarding Milton and it's harmful bleach content. People assume that because you use this product to treat babies equipment it is quite safe to treat water systems but the facts are that most baby products are plastic anyway which Milton is fine used on a daily basis as it doesn't give time for germs and bacteria to breed. It's when we have water systems that have stood for weeks or months at a time that Milton doesn't have the same effect that Puriclean does which is continously tested in a laboratory in order to ensure that it will destroy the bacteria it is stated it will kill. Have a look at the Clean Tabs link below who produce Puriclean and look at the different links which explain exactly what each product is designed to do.

We never ever stop learning even though we have been caravanning for several years but along the way we obtain good advice to pass on to others and this forum is a perfect way to do just that especially where health hazards are concerned. I'm glad you found the 'Clean Tabs' link useful but at the end of the day we make our own choices in what product to use, it just helps if the facts can be be provided by links in support of those facts but thank you for your kind words in response.

Trevor.

depends on the type of filter in the van

I didn't think it mattered what type of filter it was I thought a filter was a filter for filtering water. Sounds like a bit of a riddle so please explain a little further as we all like to gain some extra knowledge.
