4.1.11 Guidance on Cleaning Portable Water Tanks and the Water System and in
Leisure Homes
The water systems, and in particular storage tanks, in leisure homes are susceptible to contamination
by bacteria if care is not taken with their use and cleaning. The symptoms caused by bacterial
contamination are not purely limited to gastro-intestinal diseases, but may also manifest themselves as
ear, nose, throat, eye or skin infections. It is therefore important that you carry out the following procedure
prior to using the leisure home each time, even if you boil or filter all water you use for drinking.
4.1.12 For Containers
1. All water remaining in the container should be disposed of so that the container is empty. (If the
container is an onboard tank, it should be removed if possible.)
2. The outside of the container should be thoroughly cleansed and washed down to remove any dirt,
dust or other contaminant. Water at a suitably hot temperature containing an appropriate detergent
is recommended for this purpose.
3. Water should be put in the container, swirled around by hand and then emptied out.
4. The container should then be totally filled with water containing an appropriate disinfectant/sterilant
solution and allowed to stand for the recommended contact time (e.g. Milton for 15 minutes).
5. The solution should be emptied from the container.
6. The opening of the container should be cleaned thoroughly with an appropriate pre-prepared wipe
impregnated with a disinfectant/ sterilant.
