Rustyau wrote:Hi Dave, I'm well thanks. I like the idea of a good cheap setup using jerrys. I did consider maybe one on the right side of my drawers, but space for camping gear (tables, tent, etc) and of course the flea bags would be compromised. The left hand side is where my aux battery now lives. I still haven't given up completely on utilising more of the voids under the tub, but time as always is in short supply!
That's half the reason I went with this tank for the time being. It fits really neatly and took less than 1 hour to fit, probably would have been quicker with no ankle biter distractions
Where did you get the hand pump? I like the idea of incorporating one of them in the project.

Dave, spoke to Dad and he said he used a product called starbright water conditioner. He said he got it from a marine shop at Granville. He reckons it worked well because Mum didn't notice at all and she usually picks up on those sorts of things.
Can't remember exactly how it was used, but something along the lines of a small amount mixed in with the tanks when there about 1/2 full. Couple of days of driving to slosh it around and then dump it and refill.
I haven't bothered doing anything with my tank yet other than a quick plain water flush, but so far it's only been used for hand wash. In my experience with different types I drinking water vessels at work (canvas bags, stainless, plastic coolers, etc), I reckon a big reason for bad taste is using a normal garden hose to fill with. Especially if the water that has been sitting in the hose, in the sun, for days, isn't flushed out thoroughly first. IMHO
