There are various water treatments you can use , a few are available at Whitworths Marine. www.whitworths.com.au

I have used simple stainless tank conditioners etc however I'm not sure of the cleaning power, more designed for removing smells etc.

If the tank needs a lot of cleaning for rust or other deposits not sure about it being suitable for drinking..?

Miltons baby bottle wash is the better cleaner for drinking water tanks, as it's a food grade cleaner, or beer fermenter cleaner, rince thoughly if using both BUT especially the Meta something arather sulphate!!(FERMENTER CLEANER)

drop in a pack of "Steradent Tablets"
that's what l use on the ss Thermos works great
just leave in tank overnight and flush

G'day Steve

I also have had to clean out our 60 lt stainless steel tank. I used the same salts that beer lines are cleaned with.

Called 'Cellerman Beerline Cleaner'.....Active Constituent 30-60% w/w Alkaline Salts. I've used this twice in five tears and so far have been more than happy. I could see the results because I use clear plastic lines. They were quite a dark brown on the inside and as the product took effect, I Left it overnight then I pushed fresh water through and the 'gunk just peeled off the lines. I did this twice over 2 days and finished with perfectly clear 'as new' pipes.I can only quess the inside of the tank was also clean (obviously you cant get into the tank) But I had lovely sweet water again and no 'floaties' coming thru.

Hope this will help

regards Jeff.

PS I bought the product from a Home Brewing Shop.
