After sterilising our water system this year with a product sold for purpose at most caravan accessory shops, water from our Water Hog barrel has a chemical taste. We have flushed the system out a number of times, but the taste remains. Can anyone suggest a solution?
Chemical taste in water from our Water Hog water barrel

Buy bottled water! The cheapest one will do. At least it is clean and doesn't have a bad taste. If it's only to boil the kettle it's ideal. You can get 5 litres for less than
Buy some Milton tablets and add to the Hog leave for a few hours then rinse out a couple of times
We always use a water filter jug for drinking water (tea,coffe etc) it helps with taste of plastics and natural variation of water taste on different sites. This in addition to a filter cartridge on the pick up hose in your Water-hog/Aqua-roll.
If it is in tea/coffee we also found the funny taste came from a cheap plastic kettle we first had.

Hi Kath
I suspect your water filter , either on end of pipe in Water Hog or inline filter has become tainted.
You may have to replace.

Kath may I suggest you only use your Water Hog for showering and washing with.
We always use bottled water and as it has already been said you can buy 5ltrs for a quid.
Maybe its just me but I only have to change area to another water supplier and my stomach is everywhere .
I have recently bought a Water Hog and after many top ups I still get the white plastic floating on the top .
Good L:uck

It won't do you any harm and will clear the more you use. certainly wouldn't bother with seperate water/bottled water. Having drunk from the barrel all my life it hasn't done me any harm
