    Hi Bob , good video , couple of questions did this with my caravan years ago with cleaner s , any after taste from the one you use I know you drank the water, so probably answered my own question
    do you ever change the water filter , thanks Tony

    • @BobEarnshawMoHo
      @BobEarnshawMoHo  5 років тому

      No after taste. There's no water filter in the system. There's a surge damper and I've never touched that.

    Is that unusual to have a black plastic fresh water tank?
    I've had 3 motorhomes, A 2004 Bessacarr, A 2014 Bailey and a 2009 Frankia and all of my fresh water tanks have been the clear plastic, all of my grey water tanks have been black.
    Nice vid though thanks, I've always used Lemon juice and white vinegar as I don't like the idea of running chemical products through my boiler even if they say its safe to.

    Hi Bob, do you ever sanitise or soak the shower head in hypochlorite as these would potentially be main risk for legionella bacteria, especially if it hasn’t been used for an extended period

    • @BobEarnshawMoHo
      @BobEarnshawMoHo  2 роки тому +1

      No, but I do run the solution through the shower head. Something we don't do at home and I suspect many households don't. Also the motorhome is in constant use, as is the shower head. The Puriclean solution "Affectively eradicate bacteria, viruses, bio-film, algae and fungi for maximum results simply soak and flush. Perodic use will ensure a clean healthy system for water storage."

    • @stuartforsyth4279
      @stuartforsyth4279 2 роки тому

      @@BobEarnshawMoHo As you say, the fact that there is constant water usage in the shower effectively eliminates the issue. I used to work in Environmental Health and did some shower sampling for legionella. the only time we isolated it was on a ship which had cabins where the showers hadn’t been in use for months and the water had therefore been standing for a significant period.

    • @BobEarnshawMoHo
