Bicarb or Milton to clean aquaroll & system?

We're about to set up our caravan for the first time. Information on this CC website recommends cleaning the Aquaroll & water system with Milton. The Aquaroll Official Video is quite clear that bicarb of soda is the only way, at least as far as the aquaroll is concerned, to avoid tainting the water.
Any comments or words of experienced wisdom, please?
Many thanks,

Richard

HH  &  Haribo,

For  the  first  ten  years  of  my  gainful  employment

the  company  was  officially  part  of  the  Civil  Service

therefore  I  am  confident  enough  to  say  that  :--

The  Correct  tea  is  HOT,  Strong  &  Sweet  and  of

whatever  variety  you  like  !!

EDIT  !! 

P.S.  If  the  wine  bottle  cleaner  reccommended  is  "Acetic  Acid"

expect  a  few  funny  looks  or  questions  --  I  was  informed  at

the  local  home  brewing  supplier  that  its  regularly  the  substance

of  choice  for  naughty  boys  etc  to  mix  with  certain  illegal  &

noxious   white  powdery  substances  surprised  yell  !!

Very tempted here to divert OT into a discussion of The Correct Tea... knew I shouldn't have mentioned it!! wink

(From one who, as unable to consume milk, has long been addicted to decent quality herb & spice teas, of which there are even more varieties than the usual brown stuff. But that's all OT, so I'd really better not go down this route....!)

You are correct it comes down to personal preference.  Me I drink the water and don't sanitise the system.  Most drinking water is chlorinated anyway so has a low bug count  

You do what you are happy with. But be aware that chlorine can attack stainless steel.  Bleach and Milton ( cos Milton is just bleach with an advertising budget) and puriclean are all Chlorine based.   For treating an already cleaned and rinsed aquaroll the Bleach is very effective should you choose to us it.  Tbh the only thing I treat with bleach is the waste container to freshen it up and even then only occasionally

This thread is reminds me of my first day in the Middle East in the 1970's when I was offered a large bottle of Gordon's gin with which to clean my teeth as the local water wasn't considered safe. I'm wondering if I should revert to that system. laughing

No  reason  why  not  dmiller555,  just  remember  to

filter  the  gin  when  you  remove  the  teeth   winksealed  !!
