Regular maintenance will extend the life of your water tank and ensure water quality.

4.1 Cleaning

• Routine Cleaning: After each use, especially if storing for an extended period, rinse the tank thoroughly with clean water.
• Deep Cleaning/Sanitization: Periodically, or if water quality is a concern, perform a deep clean.
  1. Empty the tank completely.
  2. Prepare a sanitizing solution (e.g., 1/4 cup household bleach per gallon of water, or a commercial food-grade tank sanitizer).
  3. Pour the solution into the tank and fill the rest with clean water.
  4. Allow the solution to sit for at least 4 hours, or overnight for heavily soiled tanks.
  5. Drain the solution completely.
  6. Rinse the tank multiple times with fresh, clean water until no chemical odor is detectable.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that are not food-grade, as they can damage the LLDPE material or contaminate the water.
