Cleaning new water tanks

Post by stevep »

Hi all -- thanks to your advice and recommendations, i recently ordered and just today received 2 new water tanks from Triple M Plastics. Nice people and easy to deal with. Now, I need advice on how prep the tanks for installation. Specifically, how should I clean the inside of the tanks before installing and filing them with fresh water. Thanks for the help.

I use white vinegar, slosh it around and then rinse with water, also in the lines to get that plastic taste gone.
