At home and in many European countries, you can drink water directly from the tap without hesitation. However, with water from the tank or with tap water at some holiday destinations, there may be difficulties with the purity of the water.
At home and in many European countries, you can drink water directly from the tap without hesitation. However, with water from the tank or with tap water at some holiday destinations, there may be difficulties with the purity of the water. However, there are many different ways to treat the tap water at a campsite itself, which means that it can be used cleanly as domestic or drinking water for your camping holiday. Cleaning the fresh water system and hoses also plays an important role.

Silver ions keep filtered water without
suspended particles clean. If you fill the water tank with water from home, it is enough to keep the water clean with silver ions. Most products with silver ions can keep the water fresh for up to six months and offer reliable protection against recontamination.
Bacteriological pathogens and viruses are
killed,
without changing the
taste of the water.
Cleaning of the water tank
The
cleaning of a
water tank is the most important
requirement for
fresh water in the caravan or motorhome. The water tank should be cleaned at the beginning of the season and before the winter break. If the fresh water tank and hoses are neglected, bacteria and limescale will build up in the water system over time. If you use the tanks in your motorhome permanently, they usually stay clean. There are various cleaning products for water tank cleaning and tank descaling that are adapted to the possible contamination of the water tank. The Berger water tank cleaner in powder form dissolves biofilm with the help of active oxygen and fights algae and bacteria. Dr. Keddo Despur is also suitable for decalcification, as it removes limescale, slime and streaks and also disinfects the water system.
Drinking water disinfection
Preparations for drinking water disinfection are usually available in
liquid form so that they can be applied to the water. This allows them to be
precisely dosed and easily added to the fresh water. Often
a few millilitres of disinfectant are sufficient for a water tank with a capacity of 200 litres. The correct amount is measured with the help of a dosing cap or taken up with a pipette. You will then have antibacterial water in your motorhome and caravan that you can drink without hesitation. For use in small water containers, Katadyn also offers the preservative in tablet form. Thanks to these
water purification tablets water can even be kept fresh in
canisters and
bottles.
