Put some waterpure in the tank,we have used it for years ,you can nearly double the dose and not have any bad taste effects.
We bought it from a caravan show stand to stop our containers going green and within days it had cleaned the container from algae build up.
I see on the bottle it is supplied by Bio Magic.

5ml of liquid swimming pool chlorine (12g/L of free chlorine) per 100L of water.
More if you think it suspect.

It's simple really, just boil any water you drink. Remember when we were kids and could go to any stream, even in the big smoke, and find heaps of living creatures swimming in the water or under rocks etc - none there now due to fertiliser and herbicide runoff nuking the lot.
Good Luck.

Hi there,
Yes many years ago when I was in the services we would use the principle that once water had flowed over sand for 100 metres it was fine to drink but as mentioned in other answers here...fertilizers are killing our water.
We bought a filter system known as 'life straw' produced in Aust and it takes out 99.999% of the bad stuff.
Here is their website...

Its simple to use and I've used it all over Aust. and I'm still alive.
PS...Look for Best Filter its the one used in caravans etc
Cheers
Frank
