6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: After each trip or extended storage, empty the tank completely. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. For deeper cleaning, use a mild, food-safe cleaning solution and rinse multiple times until no residue or odor remains.
• Drying: Allow the tank to air dry completely with the cap removed to prevent mold or mildew growth.
• Storage: Store the tank in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure it is empty and clean.
• Seal Inspection: Periodically check the cap and tap seals for wear and tear. Replace if necessary to maintain a watertight seal.

7. Troubleshooting

• Leakage: If the tank leaks, first check that the main cap and any installed tap/fittings are securely tightened. Inspect seals for damage and replace if worn.
• Slow Water Flow: Ensure the tap is fully open. Check for any blockages in the tap or fitting.
• Water Taste/Odor: This usually indicates insufficient cleaning. Perform a thorough cleaning as described in the Maintenance section. Consider using a water purification tablet if the water source is questionable.
