What is the best water system sterilizer?

Good morning everyone....We're just about to prepare our water system for the coming season. In the past, we've used 'milton' & been very confident the water barrel & pipes have been sterilized ,although I must admit I've been a little concerned about the possibility of a 'corrosive' substance in the water tank, even though we flush the system through several times to clear the Milton after it's 'done it's work'. Now however, we've seen a 'u tube' video suggesting PURICLEAN is the best product for this job, because it seems it clears 'a film/slime' from the pipes,which Milton won't achieve.

My question is, "what do other caravan/motorhome owners use for their systems.?" Maybe this topic has already been discussed & I'm sorry for asking but I don't always use this discussion site but know I'll get good advice when I do...so I'd appreciate a response; we will then get a general idea of what is best and more importantly how often such a procedure is carried out. Thankyou.

Short of buying a new filter every year, very little gets done with our water system and it’s certainly not sterilised and I’ve heard of others who say the same thing. We flush it through on filling but that’s all. Perhaps I’ve been lucky but we’ve never suffered any problems in 30 yrs on site or indeed, off site as a result of drinking the water.
