We had the same experience years ago, my little bit of advice is never fill the kettle from the tap in the van, what we bought was a homebrew barrel with a tap. So when we finished setting up l would fill the barrel from the campsite water supply and use that water for our tea/coffee and also for cooking. After each trip l flush the barrel with sterilizing fluid. Hope this helps 

Hi ally b, Did you sterilize the system with purification fluid before use. (Pipe flush) is good, and there are a few others that will do the job, which ever one you chose, Put the measured amount into the aqua roll/water container, fill with water, fill up system, leave for about 1hour, flush water container through system, re-fill with fresh water and re-flush, (then drain down system if you are not going to use), that should fix the problem, there will be other members along shortly with their tried and tested products. Hope that helps.

Ours was like this when new, it's like it on occasions now even after four years.
Strange really seems to be no reason for it, can happen just once on a site out of the blue, but we have even had it at home.

I don't really see much point in always using a different container or bottled water for drinking and cooking. I don't see the point in having a modern running water system and then reverting back to having to pour it from a container.

All flushes will leave a `swimming bath water taste`.

We have a Pegasus and have had no problems.It has an onboard tank but we don't use it!

The only time we got funny tasting water was with an Abbey which had an onboard tank. That needed regular cleaning with milton tablets, followed by a flush through job done!

I seem to remember Bailey had a problem with the chemical composition of the water pipes used in construction a couple of years ago causing a TCP like taste in the water could this be a recurrence of this issue?

Yes , that is what i have read before but i dont think it was just bailey.

What is your dealer saying ? You have a  new van , maybe they can help.
