Water Jerry Cans

[UIZ733]

I have a 20L clear plastic jerry can that I use when the water tap is too far away. In recent times it looked pretty bad inside due probably to poor quality water. I tried quite a few methods to clear the gunk with little success. The final solution was to Karcher it. The smallest diameter of the Karcher fittings fitted into the container and the rest was history. Good as new.

Good to know.

I always use dark coloured plastic containers for water to try to stop the light getting to the water. It is generally the light that makes the water go bad.

Hi,
  a bit of laundry bleach will kill all the 'grooblies' growing in there too.


Rinse until you can no longer smell the Chlorine.

Make sure you rinse it properly unless you want your teeth whitened
