Hi again Kevin!

I don't know about a filter in a Gemini but i'd be supprised if it hasn't got one somewhere, mine screws into a hole just above the water inlet [1994 Elddis]

On Coaches we used to flush the fresh water systems with Milton bady bottle cleaner , mix it up in the fresh tank and such the whole lot through the system. then suck a full container of clean water through to rinse it out.

Worth a try.

I had the same trouble with yucky tasting water a couple of weeks ago and I put 8 milton tablets into a 40 litre aquaroll left overnight washed it out the next day and it was perfect. I think I will do this every 6-8 weeks just to keep the water tasing ok.

We do not use water out of system in van for drinking

We use 2 x 5 litre containers fetched from the tap for

tea/coffee and cooking

But all other water uses comes from system

Kevin you say that you have flushed the system through but have you replaced the filters themeselves.

These need to be replaced periodically and I think if something like Milton has been flushed through them they loose their effectivness.

You shouldn't leave the filters in when flushing out the system. Disconnect the actual filter from the screw-in bit and just use the screw-in bit. Ken
