Puri Sol?

We have had Malibu Molly for around nine months and after we have been using it this long, we decided that we needed to clean the fresh water tank.

Many vanlifers say they never drink water from their onboard water tank and so maybe they need to do this less cleaning.

We do drink from ours, although we boil it first. Reggie drinks water from the tap. 

We also carry bottled water in 5 litre containers.  Often filling empty ones from the mains water at home. Water in southern England is potable! 😉

So to cleaning. We usually do it using Puriclean in powder form mixed into a jug. This time we are using Puri Sol in liquid form.

It's easier to deploy into the fresh water tank through the large red screw top. The instructions say three caps full per twenty five litres of water. That equated to 33ml. 

With a hundred litre tank it's twelve caps. Easier to measure in a jug and pour in the tank.

It's supposed to be in there for around 8 hours.

After I put it in around 6pm on Friday I had a drive to Seabrook to get diesel. And to jiggle the water in the tank... 

Blaming the Israeli Iran conflict, that has disappeared from the news as quickly as it arrived, diesel and petrol was gone up around 10p a litre. So £96 was quickly swallowed up.... "at least it's full"  as the attendant said!

So Saturday, we had a crazy golf ⛳️ afternoon with a large group of friends so the drain session would have to wait.

It was around 6.30pm when I got around to draining part one. Opening the taps in kitchen and bathroom to move water from fresh to the waste (grey) tank.

I gave up when the gauges on the dashboard showed 50% in the fresh and 75% in the grey!  I'll have to top up the fresh again to 100% before we drain.

Part Two will be tomorrow and a trip to Canterbury New Dover Road Park and Ride to drain the grey. They have an aire there and it has all the services we need to complete the job.

Let's see how that goes...
