Sterilising water system

Looking for advice on cleaning out the pipework on our Roller Team, having not used it for at least 6 months. Is the best thing just to fill up the water tank, drop a tablet (or some Milton) in it and then run all the taps/shower after a few hours? I saw somewhere that it is a good idea to take it for a drive (I guess to slop the water around).

Any tips very welcome.

Also on how to stop the washing up smelling of the sterilising tablets when clean!

Many thanks.

I had so much trouble with waterpump seals failing which was thought to be down to flushing that i have not put anything other than water in my tanks for the last 15 years and we have never had as much as an upset stomach.

We have done similarly with both caravans and the MH. Again no issues, although we don’t drink water from the tap unless boiled, but I do use it for rinsing after teeth cleaning. The waste system on the other hand gets a regular clean, to keep it sweet smelling.😀

I do much the same SL but back in the dark ages when I had a caravan I did use Pureclean to clean the fresh water containers I had but I never used to flush the caravan system.
