Water Tank Sterilisation & Cleaning

Water purification with silver ions

Silver ions keep filtered water without suspended particles clean. If you fill the water tank with water from home, it is enough to keep the water clean with silver ions. Most products with silver ions can keep the water fresh for up to six months and offer reliable protection against recontamination. Bacteriological pathogens and viruses are killed, without changing the taste of the water.

Cleaning of the water tank

The cleaning of a water tank is the most important requirement for fresh water in the caravan or motorhome. The water tank should be cleaned at the beginning of the season and before the winter break. If the fresh water tank and hoses are neglected, bacteria and limescale will build up in the water system over time. If you use the tanks in your motorhome permanently, they usually stay clean. There are various cleaning products for water tank cleaning and tank descaling that are adapted to the possible contamination of the water tank. The Berger water tank cleaner in powder form dissolves biofilm with the help of active oxygen and fights algae and bacteria. Dr. Keddo Despur is also suitable for decalcification, as it removes limescale, slime and streaks and also disinfects the water system.

Drinking water disinfection

Preparations for drinking water disinfection are usually available in liquid form so that they can be applied to the water. This allows them to be precisely dosed and easily added to the fresh water. Often a few millilitres of disinfectant are sufficient for a water tank with a capacity of 200 litres. The correct amount is measured with the help of a dosing cap or taken up with a pipette. You will then have antibacterial water in your motorhome and caravan that you can drink without hesitation. For use in small water containers, Katadyn also offers the preservative in tablet form. Thanks to these water purification tablets water can even be kept fresh in canisters and bottles.
